Time to put that myth to bed.

If such a day cometh, it will not be because Gentoo decided to do so.
It will be because the current software available offers little choice;
and simply does it that way and only that way.

Gentoo devs have always stuck close to upstream as mucg as possible -
this is not RedHat with large amounts of paid dev talent to mod, tweak
and patch software to do what RH wants it to do.

So lets please stop blaming Gentoo for the route taken by udev and init
system programmers, OK?
