no one ever really carried Gentoo init.d scripts except for projects that were 
doing their development in Gentoo, so there really is no change here.

as for the other init packages, you're certainly free to use whatever you want 
on your system.  as for the rest, openrc doesnt conflict with PolicyKit or 
NetworkManager or anything else, nor does it prevent you from using those 
services at all.  so statements carrying such implications are mere FUD.
