With `lvm2 2.02.98-3`, we now utilize `lvmetad` to activate LVM volumes
automatically. This implies the following changes:
* The `lvm2` initramfs hook now requires the `udev` hook.
* The `use_lvmetad = 1` must be set in `/etc/lvm/lvm.conf`. This is the
default now - if you have a `lvm.conf.pacnew` file, you **must** merge this
change.
* You can restrict the volumes that are activated automatically by setting the
`auto_activation_volume_list` in `/etc/lvm/lvm.conf`. If in doubt, leave this
option **commented out**.
* If you need monitoring (needed for snapshots), run `systemctl enable lvm-
monitoring.service`.
* The `lvmwait` kernel command line option is no longer needed and has no
effect.

As previously announced, `initscripts` are no longer receiving any testing and
support has been dropped from various packages. Any users still using them
should switch to `systemd`.
`initscripts`, `sysvinit` and the various `rc` scripts are being removed from
the repositories to avoid any confusion about their status.
