@lanodan openrc was basically on life support, any development was purely reactive (only fixing bugs and issues), while other active inits/service managers were actually going somewhere (systemd and dinit)

on one hand, that is the reason i got into the team so easily-- i basically announced a fork (and got into ::gentoo), the next day william invited me

on another, i kinda want to believe i could've got into the team even if it were being actively developed

(i'm kinda having a weird mental de-realization episode today)
