Actually we could use it faster than that. I want to add a virtual/service-manager (see http://bugs.gentoo.org/373843) for sys-apps/openrc and sys-apps/systemd then add it to the system set, so it would be used immediately everywhere. That will also make it possible for folks using systemd to remove openrc from their systems if they want to do so, which they can't right now because baselayout has a PDEPEND on openrc. William
