Once again, reread the Arch commit.

The telinit binary is no longer deleted from the "systemd" package.

The telinit binary is ALSO no longer added to the "systemd-sysvcompat"
package.


There are only two possible conclusions:
- the telinit binary is currently provided by Arch's "systemd" package
  and is thus available on your computer *right now*.
- upstream removed it, not Arch

How to determine which one is correct?

Well, if you didn't snip out and completely ignore half my email, you
might have seen this:

Most importantly, though, was this:

However, if you didn't read my email then, I'm not sure why you'd bother
reading my second email now. So perhaps I'm just wasting my time.
