[gentoo-dev] friendly reminder wrt net virtual in init scripts

[William Hubbs]

All,

I would like to remind everyone about the tracker for services that are
misusing "need net" in their OpenRC init scripts [1].

"need net" should be removed from our init scripts, because it is bogus
and breaks things. I also question the value of "use net", because the
same thinking applies, e.g. the net virtual really doesn't have a strong
meaning of any kind.

For more details, see the tracker and flameeyes' blog post.

Thanks,

William
