The new aggressive strip option was added in dracut 058, which tell dracut to build the initramfs stripping more sections of the ELF binaries (basically strip .symtab, .strtab). These section are only useful for debugging runtime failures, but in kdump kernel, neccessary tools for debug any runtime failure are absent, there is no point keeping these sections. Stripping these section can help save some memory with almost no side effect. So let enable --aggressive-strip by default.
