At least, all places that used to say to use init=/bin/systemd have been
changed to the new path.

As long as the kernel default for the init process is /sbin/init, we
will keep probably the /sbin/init symlink for systemd. We may add
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd to be the default in mkinitcpio and drop the
/sbin/init symlink at some point (just a stupid idea of mine right now).

In any case, booting a default installation without init= is supported
and recommended, and we will make sure it keeps working.
