Hi all,

I'm splitting the thread because this is a separate subject.

Actually the plan is to generalize it so that it works with other init
systems. Right now it is very tightly integrated with OpenRc, but there
is interest in changing that, so adding openrc to the name would be
misleading eventually.

Also, at this point, renaming it would require renaming the repository on
git.overlays.gentoo.org or fixing the ebuild.

When Robin and I etalked about the split a while back this was the best
name we could come up with unfortunately.
