Why refuse? It could instead assume it needed to only start a service
in, say, a chroot, like ssh or apache2, without assuming anything else
needs to be done. If the service needed anything else, it could be
left to fail on its own terms.

Basically, baselayout/openrc (baselayout-1 has the same problem) would
(try to) shut down your system because it thought something was
terribly wrong. That's bitten me as well when I still thought I could
test services inside a chroot.
