gimme open-rc or gimme death

actually, sysv was fine too

open-rc solves the parallel-startup desire for people who want a faster boot and doesn't hide logs in binary formats which can only be interrogated with specialised tools - my primary reason for leaving Debian-based systems that I'd used for 16 years was having systemd forced on me and trying to deal with how to read good old system logging, not to mention 5-minute shutdown times, slower boot on the same machine than with Ubuntu's upstart or with open-rc.
