I'm pretty sure I never said such thing. Both sys-apps/systemd and
sys-apps/openrc satisfy virtual/service-manager, so if you installed
systemd, OpenRC was depcleaned some days ago, but since bug 373219[1]
hasn't been closed, they added OpenRC into the @system set, so now
it's not even depcleaned. You can put -*sys-apps/openrc in
/etc/portage/profile/package to solve that.
No incompatibility, and I never said that.

I believe you can install OpenRC and systemd in parallel without
problems. GNOME 3 will pull systemd when installed, but that doesn't
mean you will need to uninstall OpenRC. However, several GNOME
packages (including gdm, if I'm not mistaken) will fail if not running
with systemd as PID=1.
I don't know how well it works OpenRC parallel installed with systemd,
I haven't used it in years.
