You can have whatever you want, no one is saying otherwise. All the news

If you are going to accuse people of lying, you should back it up with
something more specific than these vague accusations. What programs and
libraries were moved? Please don't say systemd, as it has already been
established that this was not forced by systemd and affects systems
running the Gentoo default of OpenRC.
