11 Pick one way of configuration. One and only one. I'm not going to completely rewrite hundreds of pages of documentation more than once, so whichever you choose (ideally the way that I've already covered in the OpenRC migration guide), just choose one. None of this "old way now and then something completely different in the future once it's stabilized" within the same package.
