6 This is really an incorrect (and even borderline arrogant) answer...
7
8 To answer the OPs question correctly...
9
10 Since OpenRC is the *default* - for now at least - it is *king*, and
11 systemd is the red-headed step-child, and as such OpenRC is and will be
12 100% fully supported.
13
14 With that in mind, it is also 100% on the *systemd proponents* to make
15 sure that *systemd* is 'fully supported' as an *alternate* init system.
16
17 Side-note, unless the nature of systemd changes quite a bit for the
18 better in the future, if its supporters are ever able to force a change
19 to it as the default init in gentoo, that will be the day I switch to
20 FreeBSD.
