The only reason why OpenRC has not come up for stabilization by it's |
24 |
maintainers is the fact that everytime there's a new version readied |
25 |
for release, on the horizon there's new incompatible changes being |
26 |
planned for the next version. The OpenRC maintainers in Gentoo have |
27 |
always chosen to wait until OpenRC settles down a little bit. Now with |
28 |
the plan to drop support for certain features (ADSL and PPP support in |
29 |
the networking code), it's going to rewrite more Gentoo people to step |
30 |
up to develop and maintain this code. |

If you're volunteering for this position, Christian, I'll happily step |
33 |
down and allow you to maintain this. I would also discuss this with |
34 |
zzam and vapier, the other 2 maintainers of OpenRC. |
