Again, I repeat my-self. Please stop writing these statements! There was no decision to support Gentoo using any other layout than openrc (baselayout). There is *HUGE* difference between optional components and core components. Claiming that Gentoo can use alternate layout is same as alternate that freebsd port is stable or that intel icc can be used as compiler. It has broad implications, which is far from the actual component usage or its own dependencies. If you have the agenda to switch to systemd, and you hide your intention in the argument of supporting multiple layouts, please do not hide and state so clearly. But do not claim that Gentoo with different layout than baselayout is still formal Gentoo, and is supported by the Gentoo developers. Regards, Alon Bar-Lev.
