Also, Arch is in the process of moving to a different initcpio system. It's not in any of the repos yet, but is in the pipeline. I haven't fully understood what the changes will be. I think they're getting rid of the use of klibc.
Yeah, we're killing off klibc, as it's largely unmaintained. We're switching to actually using glibc and busybox. This comes at a size cost, but adds convenience and won't be too noticeable in terms of speed.
We'll also gain improved filesystem detection and a better rescue shell.
mkinitcpio, including the hooks/install pairs will remain as is, so the instructions provided in this thread will still work fine.
