This is absolutely not intended to in any way take away from the work that you have done and I don't expect you to answer, but I have to admit that I'm a bit worried about OpenRC since one of the main things it does better still appears to have a rather big and unsolved bug in the form of [1], that has been open since late 2011 according to [2]. And just to make it perfectly clear, I'm not saying that it's an unsolvable problem, but I do think it's one that needs to be solved before OpenRC can be imported. Mind you, I would love to have parallel service start-up - especially for machines with a lot of jails (for example, for non-dependant service separation) that are currently started sequencially, so I think it's fantastic work you've already done, and I definitely encourage you to work on it.
