This wiki page is finished, and passed a first round of critisism

If this will not be included in a timely manner (OpenRC herd is loaded
with tons of bugs), I'll continue improve on my overlay.

runit and deamontools and foreground things look really cool.

bonus things finished on 8.8:

  tested out runit: it is a good piece of work. I began to doubt why
    systemd would reinvent the wheel for a "built-in" supervisor.

Plans for 8.9

  1. foreground some process (ssh, tinc, nginx and squid) and train openrc to
    run them by runit.  
  2. Begin to package OpenRC with debian new maintainer's guide.
  3. portage-prefix, follow the discussion result with grobian and
    lu_zero: implement a mechanism to export EPREFIX from within runscript.sh
