* There was promise that inits will keep working
- there was promise that systemd will run initscript for external stuff so you keep compatibility and can in the case still run your software. That compat is not going away and actually we really really really want it to be around for a long time.
No. The promise was that package maintainers won't be pushed into replacing init scripts by systemd unit files. In other words, that what you plan now woudn't happen. For the record, I never believed this promise; but I would really like to be wrong.
Care to find where that was done? If it really is like you say then okay we are sticking with status quo, where we simply slowly move to unit files based on the updates till now.
The only thing announced I am aware is what I wrote above.
It wasn't an official announcement so you may not find it binding. But I found e.g. this e-mail: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2012-09/msg00164.html In particular, this part: This is a very ridiculous statement, sorry. The package maintainers will not be 'pushed' to drop it. Nor will any scripts ensure there are no initV scripts. That's just pure non-sense It was written by Dimstar who played and still plays an important role in the project.
