Or in the systemd ebuild =P

I'll drop this, I've made my peace:

  * adding another configuration file is inconsistent with every other
    openrc service

  * having two configuration files is confusing, since it looks like one
    of them just doesn't work if the other is populated

  * two code paths to maintain, and you'll eventually want to deprecate
    the consistent /etc/conf.d location (more news items...)

  * appropriating someone else's file like we did with LINGUAS can
    cause problems if they decide to change its meaning

  * handbook and other documentation updates need to happen

  * no benefit put forth so far, other than that it's the same file that
    systemd uses, which is true but not beneficial as far as I can tell
