Hi Steven, I use s6/s6-rc/s6-linux-init on most of my computers (few laptops, desktop and RPi3). It works just as expected, however it took some time to built whole dependency graph of all services and oneshots, especially to make some parts sharable across multiple machines. A little disadvantage is the lack of support in Gentoo, by which I mean there are no s6 run scripts installed by emerge. A slightly bigger disadvantage is/was some collision of s6-linux-init with sysvinit or openrc (I don't remember exactly) which led me to creation of my own s6 profiles (see https://github.com/arkamar/overlay/tree/master/profiles). Looking to the history, I already use s6 powered Gentoos for more than 3 years and except of those few struggles, everything works just fine. Petr
