I don’t want to learn a new init system. If I couldn’t have sysvinit I’d likely go with systemd for knowledge reusability, even though it’s a fat, intrusive, pile of things. I’m a BSD person, I never even liked sysvinit and sysv-rc (I ran file-rc for a while but it was not good eiter). I keep it, though, because it’s proven, well-known, low-overhead technology. So, by all means, add OpenRC support, but absolutely not at the cost of something we can currently have. If it’s not possible to have both, I’ll fight tooth and nails against OpenRC. bye, //mirabilos -- Sometimes they [people] care too much: pretty printers [and syntax highligh- ting, d.A.] mechanically produce pretty output that accentuates irrelevant detail in the program, which is as sensible as putting all the prepositions in English text in bold font. -- Rob Pike in "Notes on Programming in C"
