I won't oppose since I don't use OpenRC anymore and therefore my opinion doesn't really matter here. However, I can't help but notice a particular trend since Roy left the project. I see that OpenRC is slowly regressing towards baselayout-1. First the oldnet thingie being made the default back. While I can understand why people wanted it so badly, this doesn't make this less of a carousel for Gentoo users. I mean, changing defaults with every maintainer change. Then, functions.sh split. While itself good, I don't get what's the benefit of converting the bash script from baselayout-1 while a better one was provided with OpenRC. Now removing the public API because you don't care. While it may have been unused indeed, it's simply crippling the thing, not making it more useful. I'd like to see some kind of plan behind all this. Because as far as I can see, it's just new maintainers slowly dropping all the new features they don't care about without any specific vision. No offense intended. If OpenRC really wants to compete with systemd, it should at least have some design plan, and you really should start working on providing useful features rather than reverting, crippling and rewriting for the sake of changing things. Just some material to think about. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
