Just FYI, here's my view...
I'd love to have a patch in OpenRC so that we'd have something like
/etc/init.d.openrc that would contains overrides runscripts for sysv-rc
scripts in /etc/init.d, so that they would both co-exist (like, if
OpenRC sees they have the same name, use the one in /etc/init.d.openrc).
However, we don't have such a feature yet.
If we never have such a patch available, then yes, I'd be for sysv-rc
scripts to die, which can only happen if we impose the support of either
Upstart or systemd: in which case init.d scripts could be converted to
OpenRC runscripts, because OpenRC would be the only left consumer of
them if we decide sysv-rc is deprecated.
The later is a likely scenario, but I'd prefer the former. Feel free to
contribute! :)
