Hmm, I thought Gentoo defaulted to systemd. Rather, I learn that it's an 'alternative'.

Looks like you have to do a bit of tinkering to ensure it stays free of systemd. Same with Debian, which I use with SysV init. But it took a couple of hours tweaking to switch - perhaps one of the other inits might have been easier to switch to.

My Gentoos have been OpenRC since forever. And maintaining that requires just one USE flag.

I've never tried to move debian to not-systemd.
