I'd say that "welcome" is a better word than "tolerate" - after all, |
| 6 |
Gentoo is about choice. :) |

Still, I do agree that we should avoid disruptive changes to existing |
| 9 |
system packages for the sake of packages that are still fairly |
| 10 |
experimental on Gentoo. The most elegant solution is probably to |
| 11 |
split up openrc, but the original suggestion was to just make an |
| 12 |
"openrc-lite" of some sort and that seems like a much safer interim |
| 13 |
solution until systemd has some kind of critical mass around it. By |
| 14 |
then there might be a few other experimental init systems floating |
| 15 |
around and any serious changes might be more informed than anything we |
| 16 |
do now. |

The advantages and disadvantages of any particular init system, |
| 19 |
desktop environment, or text-editor/OS-combo aren't terribly relevant |
| 20 |
to this issue. |
