Peter, I'm not necessarily saying that either runit or Epoch on Manjaro
performs better than sysvinit + OpenRC. sysvinit+OpenRC does a good
job, and if you want to have some later processes run respawn, you can
always have OpenRC launch daemontools or daemontools-encore to manage
processes you want respawned.

My motivation in learning to install the runit and Epoch init systems,
with no help from the distro or the packaging system, is that sometimes
good distros go bad, and I never again want to go through what I went
through 7/2015-11/2015.

Or, to put it another way:

And beyond those two things, sometimes, for troubleshooting purposes,
it's nice to test two different inits and exploit the differences.
Also, if one init goes bad, you can always boot the machine with the
other one.
