Hi Steven, |

I use s6/s6-rc/s6-linux-init on most of my computers (few laptops, |
| 8 |
desktop and RPi3). It works just as expected, however it took some time |
| 9 |
to built whole dependency graph of all services and oneshots, especially |
| 10 |
to make some parts sharable across multiple machines. |

A little disadvantage is the lack of support in Gentoo, by which I mean |
| 13 |
there are no s6 run scripts installed by emerge. A slightly bigger |
| 14 |
disadvantage is/was some collision of s6-linux-init with sysvinit or |
| 15 |
openrc (I don't remember exactly) which led me to creation of my own s6 |
| 16 |
profiles (see https://github.com/arkamar/overlay/tree/master/profiles). |

Looking to the history, I already use s6 powered Gentoos for more than 3 |
| 19 |
years and except of those few struggles, everything works just fine. |
