RC_PATH now behaves similarly to MANPATH, the first empty entry will be replaced with the default search path XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is a systemwide mirror of XDG_CONFIG_HOME, and not using the same subdir inside both is technically spen non-compliant there is no other system-level tool i could find that uses XDG_CONFIG_*, so i think it makes sense to reduce it to --user only
the same as the local prefix on seemingly all systems, of which was defined incorrectly as $prefix/usr/local. since most systems call it local prefix, drop the 'pkg' one
distros, namely debian, want to keep sysvinit scripts for compatibility, while moving to openrc native scripts slowly having /etc/init.d in the search path before /usr/libexec/rc/init.d makes that transition almost impossible the recommendation for most distros is to leave the path untouched or as close to the default as possible

for 2/4:
by all intents i could gather, XDG_CONFIG_DIRS aren't really supposed to be searched for system packages, no one does, and using different suffixes on it vs _HOME is technically/pedantically spec uncompliant -- i'm still a bit unsure about how RC_PATH should interact with user services, since setting an RC_PATH combined with --user could cause issues
maybe --user should also append /user to RC_PATH? have to check what systemd does there
for 4/4:
mostly done for debian, i'm not super happy with it but if there's no alternative is something we could do for them
