I dropped my old Arch, regarding to too many issues

switch to systemd.
Following the mailing list I had the impression, that the transition is
complete and that there are no serious issues any more, but trying to
install it yesterday, I suspect that mails regarding to issues simply are
rejected.
Were you trying to install a new system or update an existing one?
I still try to install the current Arch Linux later
today, but seemingly
the transition to systemd isn't finished yet and perhaps the next wicked
transition already will be enforced in a hidden way. Just an assumption, I
don't claim that it is that way.
I have Arch installed on a few different systems. The one that gave me
the hardest time was my studio machine, which I was not willing to bring
up from scratch. Fortunately I found the Arch wiki instructions on updating
to systemd to be clear and straightforward, though I waited some months after
they made the move before I tried it.
The install disc now seems to have fully integrated systemd and it was easy
to bring up a new system. I used to be a Fedora/CCRMA user, but as the
newer kernels had realtime stuff roilled into it, the CCRMA kernel became
less necessary and there's plenty of cruft in a Fedora release. Now F18
seems to have some serious issues with its installation process.
