This was a requested feature, so /var/log/dracut.log can be dropped and the systemd journal is the central place to look at. Although there is a bug in the dracut logger, which leads to "<prio>" not be parsed by systemd-cat.
well, that leads in very large and cluttered logs at the end you do not face the few interesting lines i worked around with own rsyslog-rules in general the amount of log-lines in systemd get extreme there are *way too* much lines for a simple SSH login https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1053315
You can still set in a /etc/dracut.conf.d/logging.conf: logfile=/var/log/dracut.log sysloglvl=0
that is a really bad transition and system defaults should refelct the usage of rsyslog instead force admins to change every bit of configuration only because rsyslog is no longer default
