FYI - patches are welcome on that. I suspect that at some time we'll start pushing them through if maintainers drag their feet. This should be a pretty easy/safe change, but obviously we want to be careful since it seems to be fairly important packages that abuse this file. Once this is done users should be able to remove openrc safely if they aren't using it. At that point we might take up whether it makes sense to just make the init system like the bootloader/syslog/cron/kernel/etc in the handbook and have the user choose which one they want. -- Rich
