No, that's not some accident. As Eli already pointed out this can only
happen, if you have at least one more dependency of package "virtual/
service-manager" installed. And if really no package on your system re-
quires package "sys-apps/openrc" but YOU want that package, YOU are the
instance which must require it by simply adding it to "@world".
Not ever running "emerge --depclean" may have the tendency of collecting
bloat packages on your rig, packages you neither need nor want. So I
would suggest running "emerge --ask --depclean" on a regular basis and
thoroughly checking the output before answering "yes".
Sincerely,
Rainer
