I'd say that "welcome" is a better word than "tolerate" - after all, Gentoo is about choice. :) Still, I do agree that we should avoid disruptive changes to existing system packages for the sake of packages that are still fairly experimental on Gentoo. The most elegant solution is probably to split up openrc, but the original suggestion was to just make an "openrc-lite" of some sort and that seems like a much safer interim solution until systemd has some kind of critical mass around it. By then there might be a few other experimental init systems floating around and any serious changes might be more informed than anything we do now. The advantages and disadvantages of any particular init system, desktop environment, or text-editor/OS-combo aren't terribly relevant to this issue. Rich
