At this point, less likely on systemd devs than those who employ them (Red Hat) ...

Actually Gentoo still uses sysvinit by default, which is one of the reasons I like it. They also maintain a fork of udev (eudev) that doesn't require systemd.

OpenRC is default, but yes.

OpenRC is a collection of init scripts, not the PID 1 /sbin/init binary AFAIK.

This is true, OpenRC depends on sysvinit to run PID 1, but given the comparison to systemd we have to ignore the (unixy) distinction between OpenRC and sysvinit since systemd has eaten everything >_<.

Nice try :)
