yes, but in this case, eselect is closely bound to what version (baselayout-1 vs openrc vs ...) is installed so that it can manage the init.d scripts and runlevels. as soon as the init code changes drastically, then the eselect module does as well. i think this is a different beast than what most every other external script is using it for. -mike
