Now you argue against yourself. You said earlier: "Irrelevant. Since OpenRC is the default init system, any package that doesn't work properly with it would, by definition, be a bug that must be fixed - if the maintainer wants their package to be marked as stable/usable by 99.99% of gentoo users." Now that is simply not true, because there is no such requirement and your "by definition" does not exist in fact. There are at least two general meanings for default: 1. The one you get if you don't say otherwise. 2. The initial start point, which is fully supported and you can always expect it to work. I'm using the first definition. You are using the second. And in this post you appear to be trying to bring it around that the first must imply the second. That is just not true. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
