Thanks for all the work everybody's done on this, and thanks in advance for all the work to come. The emphasis on choice is one of the main reasons I'm a Gentoo user, and it's good to see you care about providing choice for such an important thing as system manager. And thanks for ensuring that no disruption was caused to those of us who continue to choose OpenRC. (Or IMO trivial disruption at worst, like the little bits of cruft that can be install-masked.) Another of the main reasons I use Gentoo is (well, was) the emphasis on proving thorough, clear information. I don't know enough about init systems to really judge, but <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Systemd> looks very thorough, and it's definitely clear, so thanks for that too.
