Before you do this, allow me to ask you this question: Do you want the
capability of respawning daemons that crash? OpenRC can't do that. If
you prefer respawning, consider using s3, daemontools-encore or even
Runit to manage your daemons.

Many people feel that respawning is a pact with the devil: If something
crashes, it should stay crashed for further investigation rather than
"painting over it" with a respawn. If you feel that way, OpenRC is a
good bet.
