I probably would have like to at least contribute a bit what I can (I don't think I could have helped a lot with major core stuff on a udev fork, but I'm sure there are other areas where help would be welcome). But if everyone in Debian already rejects it before we have anything to show, then I wont waste my time. In fact, seeing how this discussion turns out, I probably even regret even the few hours I spent on a Sunday, few months ago, trying to build OpenRC on Debian.
