Yeah; you are right, I had to put -*sys-apps/openrc -*sys-apps/net-tools in /etc/portage/profile/packages so portage would stop bothering me about those two. Sorry, I forgot about that. > As for kernel_linux, is this something that can go in make.conf (i.e. KERNEL="linux")? I think you should not play with that.

Subsequent world updates and depcleans show no changes except getting rid of sysvinit. Off with its head.
