That has nothing to do with abusing keywords. Gentoo supports systemd, fine. Still, OpenRC is our default implementation and I don't think something should be called stable _on gentoo_ that doesn't work with the system tools we have designed and advertise. If it works with both, then it's fine. Let me quote myself from another thread: > Maintaining a package in gentoo implies a few things for me: > We are able to support it properly which either means that we can > communicate with upstream or at least (if that fails) fix bugs on our > own. There is nothing "properly" about forcing a particular init system, upstream obviously doesn't care and our own devs gave up on trying to fix it. So nothing of that seems to apply here.
