IMNSHO, it would probably be best to just unequivocally declare the rc scripts as dead and unsupported rather than try to play catch-up now. I agree with this, no half measures. :)

You made the announcement [1] in early November; title was pretty clear; time-frame was provided. There's nothing else left to do now but to drop the initscripts and sysvinit packages.

a new announcement would only make sense for those, who totally slept the whole time. the majority of users sticking with initscripts does not do that because of lack of interest in systemd. my vserver hoster (netcup.de, german provider) does not provide an up-to-date kernel and, although first made aware of the upcoming change in september, now begins beta testing a new virtualization (kvm, linux vserver before). its still some time (up to two month) until i can finally migrate to systemd. i would be very glad, if there was a sysvinit-scripts package for the time beeing. thanks for considering.
