Point of clarification on what I said: I had no idea OpenRC was currently undermaintained by Debian. I was simply stating my opinion, basically, that I don't *trust* Debian to continue offering OpenRC, or offering a working OpenRC. Rick apparently trusts the Debian project. Jaromil and I, not so much. I guess that's the bottom line for me. Rightly or wrongly, I don't trust the motivations and future actions of the Debian project, so I would never have my business depend upon Debian.
