Awesome. Great to hear it!

Again, I'm not the maintainer, so don't hold me to this - but I remember
hearing something about something somewhere thinking the name is `rc',
even after moving the binary out of the way.

It'd also be great to have a similar setup in Gentoo and Debian, but I
can clearly see how Gentoo'ers would be resistant to such a tough change
to make.
