I did not quite get what problem you are describing.  "not a good
place" and "pretty low-class" do not seem like descriptions of a bug
nor a problem to me.  They more visualises your personal values, and
I'm not sure how it is relevant for the boot system.

/lib/init/rw/.ramfs is created by the initscripts to flag that the
directory is a ramfs.  It is intentional hidden to avoid name conflict
with anything we want to store there.
