I'd like to try and keep the source tree the same across fedora

The new version of dracut in rawhide changed the names of the
parameters. Anyone have any good ideas as to how to handle this? The
changes are buried in livecd.py
If anything I'm more inclined to make a patch for the older releases
that reverts the parameter change.
Is there a reason they didn't want to keep backward compatibility for
a few releases?
If the parameters need to match the dracut version of the image being built,
rather than the version livecd-creator is being run on, I don't think having
different versions of livecd.py for different Fedora releases will work very
well.
