Details

Include few more files in backup clause. Precisely:

backup=(etc/inittab etc/rc.conf etc/rc.sysinit etc/rc.shutdown
etc/rc.local etc/rc.local.shutdown
etc/rc.single etc/rc.multi
etc/rc.d/network etc/rc.d/netfs
)

Those people that don't change too much won't even notice the change, but those that modify Arch scripts for their needs (whatever they might be), would have a tiny bit easier time during the upgrade.

ps.
Btw - you don't have to use '\' to continue line, when assigning arrays using () construct.
This task depends upon

rc.{sysinit,shutdown,single,multi} and rc.d/{network,netfs} are not indended to be editable by users because they are not config files and thus are not in backup array.
If user edits one of those files he/she should add it to NoUpgrade which was designed to do exactly this task.
