Arch is always give user's their options they want.
You can use initscript, even if systemd is the default just like I can use systemd now when initscript is the default. Switch from one to another is very easy. So use systemd as default does not means you can not use initscript. This is not what I've been reading on the mailing list. People want to get rid of initscripts, as maintaining both would be a "burden", and certain projects behave differently with or without systemd (wedge strategy).
True, the devs will eventually not want to be burdened with it, but that doesn't mean you couldn't support a version in your own repository or the AUR no matter what anyone else does. Yes, it is a lot of work. Stephen E. Baker
