FYI, sys-apps/openrc-0.9.7 is out.
Apparently, the solution to the rc_parallel issues was to remove every
mention of rc_parallel from the default /etc/rc.conf
Brilliant.
I didn't take this email at face value when I read it earlier, but I
just merged my openrc-0.9.7 config file.
Wow, what a cynical move.
Its only cynical in that it reflects a basic failing of human
psychology, namely, "thst warning doesn't apply to me" syndrome.
I imagine their thought process went something like this:
"We exposed this experimental feature that's hard to get right and
only moderately useful, with explicit instructions not to complain if
it doesn't work unless you are personally going to put in the time and
effort to fix it."
"People blithely ignored our warning, enabled it, then complained
loudly when it did not work."
"Since no one bothers to read the warning in rc.conf about this
feature, and we have neither the time, manpower, nor overwhelming need
to make it work, we'll just stop mentioning it."
"HOPEFULLY anyone smart enough to find and re-enable a hidden,
explicitly unsupported feature will be smart enough not to complain
when it doesn't work."

Sounds like good reasoning too. lol
