Hey all, I just wanted to share my experience with you. I follow closely the changes and discussion about systemd and I have to say that in the first I was worried also that taken away the basic configuration from rc.conf will be complicated and will cause more pain. I usually enjoy breaking my computer into a point that I have to spend 2 hours reading the wiki or forums to fix it. Now days though I don't have much time mainly due to work. Thus I wanted to get ahead of the migration of initscripts to systemd. I recently made an Archlinux installation on my laptop so the system was quite clean. It was the perfect target for systemd migration. I just installed the systemd and opened up wiki page. I started making configuration changes to the files replacing entries in rc.conf with new files. It was quite straight forward if you know your system and refer back to your rc.conf. When done I removed the intescripts and rebooted. It was that simple. Had a bit of glinches as I didn't enable networkmanager from the start and reboot from inside the gnome didn't work, but now it's all fixed. I recommend to all to try at least once the systemd migration and then express opinions. It's really easy. Maybe it's just my idea but I think the system is somewhat faster on the booting now. Just my opinion but as I see initscripts are abandoned and Archlinux is a bleeding edge distro, it's natural solution to adopt systemd. +1 from me :) Disclaimer: this was done on a laptop a very recent installation, maybe on other more complicated installations it's harder.
