Except that Alan has added an init system to @world, daemontools. so that |
| 15 |
becomes the default init system, even if it is not the one he wants to be |
| 16 |
the default. |

Having added daemontools to @world, he then needs to let portage know |
| 19 |
that this is not the init system he wants to use, by adding openrc to |
| 20 |
@world. |

In a normal situation, with only one init system installed, there is no |
| 23 |
need to do anything, because the virtual takes care of making sure it is |
| 24 |
not deleted. This is not a normal situation. |
