rc.conf was removed in Archlinux as a final step of the path to systemd and became obsolete when sysvinit became obsolete, not prior.

The removal of rc.conf was the final step, but they had been dismantling rc.conf piece by piece for years prior, even before systemd was released.
When I first used Arch in 2006, rc.conf held a lot of configuration. From what I understand, it held even more configuration options prior to that. Since that time and until the removal of rc.conf, there was a steady removal of features from rc.conf.
