Apparently I cannot help here because I removed openrc from my system
months ago (even install masking /etc/init.d) but I still maintain
systems which run openrc (and, *cough* baselayout-1, you didn't read
that, did you?). Upgrade paths there almost always involved following
"eselect news read new", the hardest ones involved network and device
management services. It's kind of a challenge to do this on a headless,
remote system without needing to physically access the machine. [1]

Hehe... Hey, this is surprisingly amusing. May I quote that? :-D
Thanks for the smirk.


[1]: Ah well, I cheated a bit: It's virtualized so I had another
channel of console access. ;-)
