you've only talked about moving out "oldnet" which means "newnet" remains i=
n=20
openrc.  that is technically a provider of virtual/network-init and we're b=
ack=20
where we started: the standard Gentoo network init scripts aren't pulled in.

what providers exactly would you see live in such a virtual ?

if we do choose to go the virtual route (i don't see value here), i don't=20
think the transitional phase can start there.  if anything other than the=20
standard Gentoo network scripts are provided, then it means people will end=
 up=20
with a broken system as portage won't bother installing it.  network-
manager/wpa_supplicant/etc... are pretty common.
