That at least works up to the day systemd decides no one needs rc.local and they drop support for it (a day that is sure to come :-).
Direct support for rc.local has already been "deprecated". Somewhere I read something from Lennart and it was clear that he has an almost religious hatred for doing things 'the old way', so much so that rc.local is not 'desired'.
I got the same impression. If it worked, reliably, for decades, it's not desired any more.
I'd love a cite if you can find one... I don't know of any reason it would ever be removed. It doesn't run or do anything if you don't have an rc.local file.
