The problem is we have two different API's. Gentoo's API for tools that do not involve booting, and OpenRC's API. In the past, they were identical, but that isn't the case now. That is why I haven't removed /etc/init.d/functions.sh. That is actually part of OpenRC's public API now. I can deprecate it. To do so, I would need to have it print out a deprecation warning that would be wrong for Gentoo in the next release. That warning would have to tell users to source /lib*/rc/sh/functions.sh. Thoughts? William
