Well, there isn't any question as far as whether or not openrc is going to be stabilized, there is however a question of what's going to be put in ~arch afterwards, whether or not to use devicekit or whatever it's called now. |

I don't have time to find them myself, but check out the two threads named "The future of sys-apps/openrc in Gentoo" and "openrc stabilization update". |
30 |
The general consesus is that for now openrc will be stabilized and the project has been brought back into Gentoo, so the question for now is what the future of ~arch is. |
31 |
On an end-note, I've been using openrc for about a year now on a fully ~arch system and it works like a charm :) |
