Just for the record, |
| 15 |
I'm using it if using systemd (desktop systems), it's the only network |
| 16 |
manager that use iproute2 syntax, shortening it if context is available |
| 17 |
(no need to specify interface if it's mentioned in variable name f.ex.). |
| 18 |
Beside I don't like NetworkManager |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
worse than that I'm actually using the same gentoo image with openrc and |
| 21 |
systemd in different scenarios. |
| 22 |
Basically my build box is using openrc inside a lxc container (no use of |
| 23 |
netifrc, since net is managed by lxc). |
| 24 |
The clients of the build box instead boot with systemd _and_ netifrc. |

Gentoo is used by people who like to change defaults and (ab)use the |
| 27 |
(autodocumented) flexibility offered by portage and ebuilds. Don't be |
| 28 |
light in assuming how strange people is using strange configuration, and |
| 29 |
population of strange people, that could be surprising. |
