I don't think runit (or daemontools) are init systems. If you feel like
that may be ambiguous, we should say that explicitly. (This is one of the
problems with how to word matters around OpenRC, since in a way it's
actually closer to daemontools or runit. The latter just never attempted
to deal with *all* the startup scripts.)
Regardless, yes, we definitely should not outlaw packages that depend on
runit as part of this decision.
