The wiki has told you to use init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd for quite some time.
When I was configuring the bootloaders (grub in two cases, gummiboot in another), I was following the installation instructions, and I didn't see this.
At least, all places that used to say to use init=/bin/systemd have been changed to the new path.
Is it the Arch recommendation to add this kernel option at boot time? Or will /sbin/init point to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd for the foreseeable future?
As long as the kernel default for the init process is /sbin/init, we will keep probably the /sbin/init symlink for systemd. We may add /usr/lib/systemd/systemd to be the default in mkinitcpio and drop the /sbin/init symlink at some point (just a stupid idea of mine right now). In any case, booting a default installation without init= is supported and recommended, and we will make sure it keeps working.
