The only cause for confusion, as I see it, is that you expected
/etc/initrc to be existant. When that was missing, you thought the whole
world had been turned upside down. The fact remains that from the
perspective of anyone who wants to change the order in which stuff
starts, *nothing* has changed.

It works. It's been tested. It's implemented.  We're just not making
much use of it *yet*, but why should that matter?

Why is it confusing that everything is the same as it used to be?

Quite the contrary. In that case, everything would be different from
what you're used to.
