Before I continue, I was quite happy with sysvinit 1998 to whenever
upstart took over. Sysvinit does the job.

In my opinion the difference between sysvinit and OpenRC is not enough
to walk away from the familiar sysvinit.

Now, because runit exists, I would never again start up my daemons
using sysvinit. Instead, I would do one of the two following:

1: Use sysvinit for PID1, and:
    A: Start runit in /etc/inittab as a respawn
    B: For each daemon:
        i: Disable the daemon in sysvinit
        ii: Enable it in runit


2: Use runit as a complete init system

If I were using Devuan (my Daily Driver Desktop (DDD) is Void), I would
choose alternative 1 because it's simple and sticks with what I know. If
I were using a native runit distro like Void I'd use alternative 2.

I think #1 is a great way to slowly wade from the shallow end of to the
deep end.
