As has been mentioned, the problems I foresee are (ordered from "currently a problem" to "a potential problem a long time from now": 1) not enough people testing initscripts. This would be easy to help out with :-) 2) third-party software (such as gnome/polkit/...) getting hard dependencies on booting with systemd (essentially everything that now depends on consolekit, and maybe more). If you don't use the affected software this does not matter, if you do it is not really easy to work around. 3) devs at some point no longer wanting to maintain the various rc scripts. If people are committed enough I guess an "rc scripts" package could be put in the AUR to deal with this case (if ever it becomes a problem, which it might not). > I won't give up > using initscripts on my desktop so easily ;-). :) -t
