UNIX and lookalikes have been able to boot into single user mode with a small root filesystem without the need for /usr, /var or ... There are still admins that have split any number of these directories into their own filesystems for various reasons. I guess you can call these use-cases. By placing the init systems in /var we again remove another choice for admins/users. If we are about choice, then /var may not be the best place to put inits.

For sure my installations have /var separated, to avoid /var/log/syslog growing enough to fill / and thus causing the system to fail.
The only things I consider to be on root filesystem are: / (obviously) /etc /lib /bin /sbinNot even /boot, which I use to have in a separated partition independently in each hard disk, while all the others are in a replicated RAID among all disks.
From this, I derive that init system files should be in /etc (configuration) and /sbin (executables). For the sake of keeping things as they are, shell scripts could continue in /etc as in /etc/init.d so I strongly raise hand for /etc/orc or /etc/wtf-is .
