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...
+1 Maybe a "boot-early.service" and "boot-late.service" could be provided which just check for a directory "boot-{early,late}.d" and start all executables in there. I'll probably just whip up a pacakge that does that for me privately. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman
