In other words, if you go for the symlink approach you're just moving |
| 26 |
complexity to your system instead of into the boot; I don't see why a |
| 27 |
wrapper would grow to openrc size, that's just a bold exaggeration. |

I'd rather have a clean wrapper that just works than an unclean way to |
| 30 |
cover the reboot madness that comes along; forcing a reboot, really? |
