I think of out all the options here, copying the current inittab to .pacsave and installing a new, working inittab makes the most sense. Then a user would at least have a chance to boot and read their logs to see what happened if they even notice there is a problem.
This is exactly what Arch *doesn't* do, and it provides .pacnew files for this purpose.
Well, I do think saving the current config as a pacsave is a hell of a lot better than altering it and wondering what the hell happened to your original config. So that's a compromise I'd be willing to accept.
