Originally, I really had no idea what I was referring to specifically. After some more poking around, I think you’re right. I said sysv-rc because I noticed that installing the openrc package would only uninstall/conflict with the sysv-rc package and not the rest of sysvinit.

Hopefully that clears things up a bit.
