The decision was to have systemd as a default, not to forbid any other init system to be mentioned. I don't agree with the OP of this thread when he said there should be an official version of Arch with OpenRC, that's too much work. I mean this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:JMCF125/OpenRC should be here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenRC. So that this: http://systemd-free.org/ is not necessary, but instead just a nice plus. Best regards, João Miguel
