20 +1 from here
21 Personally i'm most likely to stay with openRC, because the switch is
22 non-trivial and have no faith in the xinetd-style socket arbitrator.
23
24 but would eselect be able to script the following:
25 .. new kernel coptions
26 .. new grub2 command line
27 .. install dbus (use=-systemd) _then_ systemd
28 .. would be nice to use an import for localed and hostnamed and timedated
29 .. importing openrc services and runlevels to targets
30 .. pamd logind entires
31 .. syslogd changes to accomodate systemd
32 .. setting systemd to log to syslog to make transitions smoother (as
33 logs are lost on reboot by default)
34
35 and then the reverse for 'undo' ?
