I've read what Tom wrote both here and in the man page, and he's talking about the ArchLinux /etc/rc.conf as "the old way" and people being "gently pushed" toward using the new configuration files. In my experience, that's a step on the road toward deprecation and non-support. For those of us who are well served by the rc.conf way of doing things, this could be a cause of concern, and now seems like an appropriate time to speak up. I would prefer to run systemd as little as possible. A central config file and reasonably transparent init system fit my case much better. -Sam
