I do not remember seeing ever a general call for converting the old packages 
to using procd. In that sense this proposed change to switch the default 
comes a bit surpise.

Quick search in the packages feed repo reveals that there are 281 instances 
of "/etc/rc.common" and only 205 instances of USE_PROCD. So, likely about 75 
packages in the packages feed repo only are using the old syntax without procd.

Has a decision been made to declare the old-style init file invalid? Will it 
be possible to still use the syntax? What is the new "override" to indicate 
the usage of the old syntax?

Or will the proposed change disable the packages using the old init file 
syntax totally?
