Well, Canek is the systemd guru in this group, but I have been able to boot my ~amd64 test machine successfully using *either* openrc or systemd. This was a pleasant surprise to me because Canek posted not long ago that openrc is now incompatible with systemd. Canek, please correct me if I'm wrong because I'm a bit lost in the details of the gnome3/systemd update at the moment.
