It's the job of whoever wants any init system to work to make it work, |
| 9 |
isn't it? There's no magic that makes the default work without |
| 10 |
it being someone's job to make it work. |

No matter what the default is, for any init system to work, there has |
| 13 |
to be a group of people committed to making it work. There are such |
| 14 |
groups for OpenRC and systemd within Gentoo. And since Gentoo is about |
| 15 |
choice, each group bears the burden of doing whatever is reasonable to |
| 16 |
make sure it doesn't interfere with users' ability to run whichever |
| 17 |
system they want. Reaching a consensus about "whatever is reasonable" |
| 18 |
isn't always a pretty process, but they have to do it anyway. |

I'm an OpenRC user, and I intend to remain one, but I wouldn't mind if |
| 21 |
Gentoo had no default init system and the user would have to choose |
| 22 |
one at install time via a profile choice, eselect, or just a bunch of |
| 23 |
USE flags, as long as the choices are well documented. |
