I did quick audit of openrc-init, it's *very* simple init. It starts openrc,
which starts all services, opens fifo to handle shutdown/reboot, and reaps
zombies. So it does what it really is suppose to do and I don't see a way for it
to crash once it's started. So I am ok with using openrc-init as PID1
/sbin/init
