Do you know how many packages in the package feed and the main
repository are still not using procd?

External repositories, not the package feed, will probably be affected
most, but I think we do not have to care and there were many years to
convert.

I do not remember seeing ever a general call for converting the old packages to using procd. In that sense this proposed change to switch the default comes a bit surpise.

Quick search in the packages feed repo reveals that there are 281 instances of "/etc/rc.common" and only 205 instances of USE_PROCD. So, likely about 75 packages in the packages feed repo only are using the old syntax without procd.

Has a decision been made to declare the old-style init file invalid? Will it be possible to still use the syntax? What is the new "override" to indicate the usage of the old syntax?

Or will the proposed change disable the packages using the old init file syntax totally?
