The problem is that it will eventually become an unmantainable mess, not

completed. Also new packages will probably not include any rc scripts in a
short future.

I know that at some point of time it will become unmaintainable. But I
believe it should be possible to support initscripts for next few
months without any larger problems. As for the rc scripts – these are
low maintenance, so keeping them is not a problem. I'm sure I will
have to switch to systemd on all my systems eventually, but I don't
give up that easily ;-)
Certainly Lukas intends to create and maintain an initscripts-arch-rc.d
package similar to systemd-arch-units. He would surely not expect every
packager to duplicate their work for two init systems, when most of us
agree to deprecate one and move towards the other. Right Lukas?
Sure. If the package maintainer decides to drop rc srcipt from the
package, I can keep it in such package. As the rc scripts doesn't need
to be changed often I think this isn't a big problem, unless some of
the applications starts requiring systemd for their services.

Ok, if I can give my rc scripts to you, then I am happy :)
