I think it was on this list someone asked about this since rc.local has gone away with the systemd takeover. I can't answer in all cases since I haven't used all shells, but for bash, you can add commands to the end of /etc/bash.bashrc and get the same behavior you had putting things in rc.local with systemv. I have it working over here already and I use talkingarch linux on this machine and systemd took over long ago here.
Please don't make broad, misleading statements like this. I know on Debian testing for sure that rc.local is still supported as I use it in my live CD to play a startup sound. Systemd has a unit to run it. The problems with putting things in /etc/bash.bashrc are many. First, what if the user logging in doesn't run bash? Second, what if your system locks up and bash doesn't start? Finally, what if bash is corrupted somehow? A better way is to use rc.local as was done in the past. If Arch doesn't support this, write a unit which runs during boot. I am not a Systemd expert, but I know that you can emulate runlevels and have programs run in a certain order, so you could have S99rc.local in /etc/rc?.d to accomplish the same thing.
