openrc 0.9.8.4

no, but I might be forced to use it later when udev >=181 becomes
stable.

The only I know is shutdown, when / is remounted read-only.

I do not see any advantage in having /run on tmpfs.

I'm not sure it is true. I have read somewhere that tmfps is
never moved to swap. Anyway, I prefer not using swap at all.
And I have better use for physical memory than holding some
more-or-less statical data...

<OT>
I always liked Gentoo because it gives me complete freedom
and control over my system. *I* could decide what I want to
use or not. And I'd be very dissapointed if Gentoo one day goes
to "YouCanNotTurnThisOffBecauseWeKnowWhatIsTheBestForYou" way...
