This isn't totally safe yet, but you'll be fine if you know what you're doing. OpenRC is still in @system because it provides /etc/init.d/functions.sh, and some other packages still depend on that location. You can check b.g.o. for a list of packages that need to be fixed to depend on the newer /lib/gentoo/functions.sh: https://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=functions.sh
