I thought the whole point of the gentoo-functions package was for it
to take over the /etc/init.d/functions.sh shortcut??

As far as I am aware (and i believe vapier will confirm),
/etc/init.d/functions.sh is and shall always remain part of the Gentoo
API, despite /etc/init.d/ now being the realm of openrc proper.  This
was part of the discussion over a year ago when the decision was made
to implement the pure-bash gentoo-functions.sh replacement in the
first place, and why that symlink didn't disappear back then.
