We are not just talking about random ebuild features here that have been
dropped. It's a MAJOR feature. And it _matters_ for gentoo. So it IS a
_regression_.
How does not supporting OpenRC matter for Gentoo? Gentoo isn't
OpenRC. OpenRC is just one init system that Gentoo supports. You can
run Gentoo without it - indeed you can run Gentoo without any init at
all (via Prefix).
You just removed the upgrade path for users.
Upgrade with an requirement of reading a guide to finish it is still an
upgrade. This became possible thanks to Portage news items, but I don't
count that as mandatory either.
If that's not a regression ... well ... err ...
Somehow I get really confused by this selective perception (anyone
remembering the KDE overlay getting paludised and the fallout from that?)
