Interesting - I had no idea that openrc-init existed.  When I read this
I was tempted to switch, however:

  Openrc-init does not use /etc/inittab

which means in particular that my own favorite way of shutting down
wouldn't work:

  kb:12345:kbrequest:/sbin/shutdown -h now

Extra question to keep the thread alive for a bit: does openrc-init
support rebooting via Ctl-Alt-Del?  Is it configurable?  (It is with
sysvinit, in a similar way to the above kbrequest setting.)
