The latter is not true, unfortunately. Distros like OpenSUSE and SLES
does move to iscsiadm to manage sessions for their dracut fork,
however, the upstream dracut still uses iscsistart now. The context is
that it might take a while for the SUSE patches to be upstream ready,
hence we need an interim that addressed the particular iSCSI boot issue
when dealing with multiple interfaces, until iscsiadm dracut patches
become avail. Please see:
