Since you aren't a user nor are going to be a user of openrc, I don't
see why you feel the need to critique it, especially on debian-devel
where the majority of subscribers are just not interested.

Yup, but cgroups aren't available on KFreeBSD and one of the main
reasons for openrc in Debian is to provide some init system better than
sysvinit that works on the other kernel we are committed to supporting.
You don't care about KFreeBSD, I don't care about KFreeBSD, but some do
so why not leave them to it and focus your energy on something you do
care about?
