Marcell's argument that "This package was intended for a systemd-less Arch derivative, and is not useful on Arch Linux, due to the fact that it is virtually impossible nowadays to run Arch without systemd..." is not valid as Arch Linux gives us the freedom to run whatever init system we choose to run. The power of Arch Linux is to enable the user to be able to use whatever they choose.
What @jahway603 says is true in theory. However, one would have to customize and rebuild half a thousand packages of a typical installation to be able to get rid of systemd in favor of another init system + daemon/services manager. Changing the init system might have been practically doable 10-12 years ago, but it is no longer the case.
