In previous versions of OpenRC, configuration information was processed

reverses that. Global configuration stored in /etc/rc.conf is read first
then overridden bby configuration stored in /etc/conf.d/*.
service-specific configuration.

The swapfiles service, which was basically a copy of the swap service,
has been removed. If you are only using local swap partitions, as
described in the handbook for example, this change will not affect you.
If you are using swap files or swap partitions on network-backed devices
such as iSCSI, please adjust the dependencies of the swap
service as shown in /etc/conf.d/swap to reflect your situation.



Two paragraphs, is that two distinct changes in openrc? Because the
second doesn't logically follow from the first and it doesn't seem like
an example of the first either.

I suggest an intro para along the lines of
"This version of openrc introduces two changes"
and then number the paras following
