10 You can have whatever you want, no one is saying otherwise. All the news
11 item said was that Gentoo will no longer support such an arrangement. Thy
12 are not removing your choice to do it your way, only exercising their
13 choice to do things their way.

19 If you are going to accuse people of lying, you should back it up with
20 something more specific than these vague accusations. What programs and
21 libraries were moved? Please don't say systemd, as it has already been
22 established that this was not forced by systemd and affects systems
23 running the Gentoo default of OpenRC.
