Agreed, but it was due to a lack of testing.

They were, but only in QEMU, it would seem. The temporary workaround is 
to fetch the initramfs referenced below, and then, after imaging the 
image to an SD card using $preferredImagingMethod (Fedora Image Writer, 
for most folks, would be their best bet), just copy the downloaded 
initrd over to the boot partition on the SD card.

I am informed by pwhalen that, as of today, the image is still broken in 
rawhide (which will become F31) but that it will be fixed in the coming 
days/weeks, now that there's a bug for the issue:
