This is my personal prejudice, but I consider runit and s6 better than
OpenRC. The way OpenRC init scripts are used in the wild, they're
almost as long as those for sysvinit, which is way too long for my
taste. I consider OpenRC to be better than sysvinit, and sysvinit to be
better than systemd.

I'd also like to point out that using sysvinit's PID1 and the process
supervisor for runit or s6 is a great way to do things.
