We have less options now ;-)
I'm a bit afraid that even if sysvinit itself stays mostly fine, the scripts written for
it could turn into a bunch of bitrot.
And AFAICS we may be able to use Upstart some time in the future but this doesn't seem
possible right now.
What is the current status of OpenRC? Is it usable?
