I never heard any discussion about this previously.
In no particular order, here are the first few thoughts that came into my
head.
1) If dispel will no longer remove initscripts, then I see no point in
working
on any bug that installs an init script.
2) leaving scripts to fail is a poor substitution for fixing whatever the
problem with dispel is.
3) New users will be greeted with failure messages on their very first boot.
4) if they are not tracked at install then their removal (say through an
init.d spell failure) will not be reported by cast --fix and the system will
be unbootable.
5)... do I need to keep listing reasons why this was an ill-informed
decision ?

This is a bug, please don't sweep it under the carpet
