Description of problem: Looks like we need to update the dracut.conf man page to accomodate the new version of dracut we shipped in RHEL 6.5. Might need to update dracut man page too. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dracut-004-336.el6 Additional info: It appears that the dracut.conf man page (not sure about dracut man page itself) was not updated to reflect the new features. I noticed this because I was looking for a way to make dracut always include certain arbitrary files in the initramfs it builds (e.g., luks key files) and I found such an option in the Fedora dracut.conf man page (a directive called "install_items") which DOES work with dracut.conf in RHEL 6.5, but which isn't in the man page there.
