AFAICT, the day is pretty close. <https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/profiles/base/packages> and <https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=511500> indicate openrc is still in @system as a stopgap, to keep providing functions.sh because of bugs 373219 (FIXED already) and <https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=504116>, which only has 4 ebuilds left to fix.
