Pick one way of configuration. One and only one. I'm not going to completely 
rewrite hundreds of pages of documentation more than once, so whichever you 
choose (ideally the way that I've already covered in the OpenRC migration 
guide), just choose one. None of this "old way now and then something 
completely different in the future once it's stabilized" within the same 
package.

One for simplicity, one for somewhat-happy tech writers, one for the win.
