My (personal) sense is that in the medium-term we may end up moving to |
| 8 |
not having any default at all, just as with bootloaders, kernels, |
| 9 |
syslog, crontab, mail, etc. That is pretty-much the Gentoo way |
| 10 |
everywhere else when there are options. |

As you already pointed out, as long as somebody cares to maintain |
| 13 |
openrc and write init scripts for it, there will be support for it. |
| 14 |
Many init scripts and systemd units are contributed by outside users |
| 15 |
already, and policy is that maintainers cannot block them from being |
| 16 |
added to packages (though they do not have to write/maintain them |
| 17 |
personally). |

Gentoo doesn't really tend to exclude anything, and inclusion is a |
| 20 |
matter of whether somebody wants to put in the work. |
