No. The initrd contains information about encrypted filesystems which can
change simply via stone. And the encrypted filesystem configuration can
change by itself (from encrypt -> encrypted).
I need a sane way to recreate the initrd automatically after that:

Boot -> stone -> set filesystems to encrypt -> recreate initrd -> reboot ->
encrypt filesystems -> set filesystems to encrypted -> recreate initrd.

If you forget the last step then you will be prompted to encrypt your
filesysstem again after next reboot --> BAD.

Reinstall a kernel twice for that? I think not.
