What I mean is that it would be stupid to have USE=openrc to apply such a
patch. Either the patch is done correctly (does not break the daemon), or
is not. If the former is true, USE=openrc would be broken; if the latter is
true, why not simply apply it to begin with?

If you really don't want PID files (and it probably means you have never
had to deal with medium-scale deployments, but never mind), you can make it
so that `-p` is an optional parameter, and if not passed no pidfile is
created. And voilĂ , you can make an unconditional patch and even send it
upstream for other init systems that do rely on pidfiles that are not
OpenRC.
