Please don't. We'll never drop initscripts this way. Use AUR instead.

Actually, what would be the problem of me maintaining initscripts in community too, if that time comes? I don't plan to switch to systemd anytime soon. I don't see any problem dropping the initscripts & consolekit packages to AUR when no one (including me) would be willing to maintain them.
So "maintaining" initscript would me actually adjusting/fixing them as needed or just putting a package there?
I'd probably do only the bugfixing – I don't think there's any new functionality needed.
Because there has been repeated calls for actually contributors towards initscripts without any response. And if you are not going to do actual development of initscripts, I will have to object on the basis that the software is unmaintained upstream.

It's possible that I missed some of this calls for contributors, but I already presented my will to help. I was told that mostly the testing is needed, and, well, initscripts works for me without any problems, so there are no bug reports from the in this regard. But I don't see any problem in diving into bugtracker and trying to fix some of the current issues too. Lukas
