11 I disagree. It would have been straightforward to create a transitional
12 package sys-power/upower-10000 which makes openrc users transition to
13 sys-power/upower-pm-utils and systemd users to sys-power/upower-systemd
14 or something similar.

17 in place (and the 30 day period has elapsed, etc.)
