I'll gladly be explained, just in case I should have it wrong. :-)

What I meant however was that there has been talk of starting a migration of ~arch users to devicekit when it is deemed ready. As far as I remember no conclusion was brought to that discussion other than openrc being moved inhouse and seeing how that went. So the ball is still in the air as far as openrc and a replacement goes, to my understanding.
