How about someone decide which is the best version and keep it integrated in OpenRC? There's no best version? diff the two of them and merge what matters. I mean, how many distros do you know that have two sets of init scripts *just* to configure networking? I know Gentoo is about choice, but this feels a little too much choice. What will I choose next? Someone can decide that keymap needs a refactor and just fork it, of maybe hostname, or <insert_some_stupid_but_*needed*_init_script_here>.
