My counter-proposal at this point would be to handle DMs similarily to
how it's done with systemd. In other words, every DM would provide their
own init and conf files (or, "service" files) and they'd be controlled
This is quite hard as openrc manages tty handling differently than
systemd.
Currently display-managers work by adding an extra run level in openrc
(see

It is not possible to do this independently for each of lightdm/gdm/sddm
separately, there would be too much redundant copying of code.
Would this not be resolved by switching to openrc-init instead of
systemv init?
