Fedora is RedHat, and that's where systemd came to live, so you can guess...

Well said. I came from Ubuntu also, and I expected that in Arch some things
would break because of it being rolling and more bleeding-edge than Ubuntu.
I accepted that, but as it happened, it breaks _less_ than Ubuntu.

And, actually, about the rc.conf split, I couldn't care less. One file,
three files, doesn't make a difference to me. As long as they are text
files, and not binary ones, like some other mainstream systems, all is good.

Just my 0.02 €
