I thought about dropping the version number from the
display-if-installed line, but that doesn't make sense because it means
that everyone, including all new installs of OpenRC after this version,
would have to read the newsitem.

Title: OpenRC runscript transition

Starting with OpenRC 0.21.3, service script authors should use
#!/sbin/openrc-run instead of #!/sbin/runscript to start their scripts.

The following warning will be displayed for each service on your system
which is not updated:

 * <scriptpath> uses runscript, please convert to openrc-run.

This warning is not fatal; your system will boot normally.

To silence most of the warnings, you should run the following command as root:

# emerge --oneshot -av $(grep -l '/sbin/runscript' /etc/init.d/*)

If you have any service scripts after running this command that generate
this warning, please file bugs against the packages that own these
scripts, not against OpenRC.
