Feature request Description:

Implement stateless features in Arch.

In a nutshell, a stateless system is one which:
* Can operate without custom configuration (a generic host with an empty /etc directory).
* Strictly separates the OS configuration, per-system configuration and the user-data stored on that system in order to simplify maintenance and deployment (segregating distribution-provided data /usr and defaults from administrator-provided data and configuration /etc).

It seems that systemd provides support for booting a system into a working state, creating an initially-empty /etc and /var directories.

See for example this page from Intel Clear Linux: https://clearlinux.org/features/stateless
