May be worth mentioning that also other distro like Alpine Linux uses
openrc, they can be interested

&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; As I said on the bug, the downside is the addition of py3 and ninja<br>

&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; What do folks think here?<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; I would discourage it.   Making OpenRC build-depend on python<br>
&gt;&gt; introduces unnecessary complexity that will undermine the<br>
&gt;&gt; portability of OpenRC sooner or later.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; After all OpenRC is a small program easy to build with a hand-written<br>
&gt;&gt; Makefile.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Parallel make issues?   No problem let&#39;s just solve it.<br>
