What would l have to pull apart to be able to tell?

Having said that I've just noticed that newer versions of the script
concatenate an ISO to the initrd (rather than another cpio) -
https://github.com/rhinstaller/livecd-tools/commit/8067be50907da9461e442c11a664c89e066ccac6#diff-88c69e43bb69726c532af3a136cc50e8
. Unfortunately after rebuilding the initrd with the
livecd-iso-to-pxeboot version from Fedora 24 the warning persists.
CC'ing a few of the tool's authors on this email.
