But they worked well enough still. "run pretty early during boot" (boot.local) and "run very late during boot" (after.local) without having to dig into all that stuff was a pretty useful feature for many.
Indeed it is. Instead of moaning that it goes away, you could as well have expressed your appreciation for the devs and packagers that they kept it up this long. Don't

Come on, the deprecation has just been mentioned, not even been announced, by Thorsten, why do you blame people bringing up their comments this hard?
I completely agree that most stuff should have been ported to use systemd units these days, but boot.local and after.local really are (have been) such an incredibly easy way to run arbitrary commands at a specific point when booting. This *is* something that the devs and packagers (I'm one of them fwiw) should appreciate as information what they might consider in maintaining...
Surely it is not my personal fault if proprietary packages have not done the effort to migrate to systemd in these many years. I'm simply mentioning that one proprietary package that I happen to use has not migrated. Probably there are more. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
