Answering my own question (for the record). I found some explanation here:

Excellent - this is exciting to hear

On the other hand since there still isn't a masked ebuild in portage 
(and I seem some notes on my on Roy's site) then I have to assume that 
in fact we are still a good way away from calling it a replacement and 
starting to push it out to users?

Would it not make sense to start to snapshot some builds and push openrc 
out for testing?  (Seems like a gentoo job rather than an upstream is 
the reason I ask here?)

Cheers
