+1 from here
Personally i'm most likely to stay with openRC, because the switch is
non-trivial and have no faith in the xinetd-style socket arbitrator.

but would eselect be able to script the following:
.. new kernel coptions
.. new grub2 command line
.. install dbus (use=-systemd) _then_ systemd
.. would be nice to use an import for localed and hostnamed and timedated
.. importing openrc services and runlevels to targets
.. pamd logind entires
.. syslogd changes to accomodate systemd
.. setting systemd to log to syslog to make transitions smoother (as
logs are lost on reboot by default)

and then the reverse for 'undo' ?
