I agree. Systemd is not mandatory; dbus is not mandatory, and thanks to your efforts udev is not mandatory, right? I don't know about PAM, but I'm not opposed for it to not being mandatory. So lets stop making OpenRC mandatory, and besides in a completely artificial way: nothing really depends on functionalitty provided by OpenRC. So let people make their OpenRC+mdev systems without systemd, and let people make their systemd+udev systems without OpenRC. Everybody wins.
