For the arch init, even dependencies aren't too big a deal given that the linear way system services are defined in rc.conf, though I know it's been an important feature in other init systems. Having the arch init with systemd as an option if it's needed or wanted is great, but I can imagine trying to keep two init systems in mind while maintaining could get nightmarish. -Sam
