OpenRC works just fine and it has all the rings and bells you would
want from systemd:
- logs (lol, welcome to 1980?)
- cgroups management
- parallel service start

Interestingly, cgroups can be disabled and this is why this init runs
on BSD, these just don't exist there.
It really doesn't hurt to have a familiar software stack across
different operating systems. Time wasted on retraining is time you
could've used to do actual work. Especially if there's literally no
benefit to said retraining.
