FYI - patches are welcome on that. I suspect that at some time we'll |
| 8 |
start pushing them through if maintainers drag their feet. This |
| 9 |
should be a pretty easy/safe change, but obviously we want to be |
| 10 |
careful since it seems to be fairly important packages that abuse this |
| 11 |
file. |

Once this is done users should be able to remove openrc safely if they |
| 14 |
aren't using it. At that point we might take up whether it makes |
| 15 |
sense to just make the init system like the |
| 16 |
bootloader/syslog/cron/kernel/etc in the handbook and have the user |
| 17 |
choose which one they want. |
