Also surprising: a few people mentioned alternatives to systemd /
sysvinit. AFAIK none of them started a project to implement their idea
in Arch... ;)

Well, it should be possible to create a system (even Arch!) completely
free of systemd tools. You'd have to rebuild some of the initscripts
and, oh yeah, fire up mknod to create all necessary devices.
As i'm sure you know, Udev is now a part of systemd.


Just my two cents.
