It's not a full baselayout competitor - instead it's reduced baselayout to |
| 14 |
providing key base files such as /etc/passwd. OpenRC is just the service |
| 15 |
management system. |

Yes [1] |

A done deal [1] |

No [2] |

[1] The Gentoo Council and Gentoo base-system team know and approve of OpenRC. |
| 23 |
Mike Frysinger of the Gentoo base-system team also has commit access to the |
| 24 |
git repo. So it's very very likely. |

| 26 |
[2] I use busybox as a shell and can support it when it's internal |
| 27 |
start-stop-daemon applet disabled (as OpenRC has it's own variant). I don't |
| 28 |
and probably never will support vserver personally, but will work with Gentoo |
| 29 |
developers ensuring that at least one version works. In other words, I'll try |
| 30 |
and support it but it may break from time to time. |
