The current init system is old. Ancient. We should all agree on it.
Devuan is looking for a new init system that is not systemd and my
personal choice for this task from now on is Gentoo's OpenRC.

In Debian, years ago, effort was made to get OpenRC running. Utter fail.
The developers kept the old LSB initscripts and made such an ugly job to
make OpenRC work with them, while kicking out OpenRC initscripts from
the way (which are, by the way, much more readable and elegant than LSB).

I would like to revive this effort, and this time do it properly,
keeping OpenRC in /etc/openrc/ along with its own initscripts. Each
package that has its initscript would have to include a new,
OpenRC-specific initscript. There are really no good arguments to use
LSB initscripts with OpenRC.

While it may not seem much, this task is not a one-person-job and
therefore I am looking for co-maintainers of the OpenRC package for
Devuan. Please let me know if you are interested in co-maintaining a new
init system for Devuan with me.

Cheers!
