Ha, yeah - the Arch wiki calls it a “service manager” although OpenRC describes itself as a “dependency-based init system”. When I wrote that reply I’d started to be more pedantic about the terms but changed it to reflect my core problem that it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison to compare all of systemd to the underlying init system (you see loads of “are you using OpenRC or systemd” posts but never systemd vs sysvinit).
OpenRC is daemon supervisor (probably not the right name).
OpenRC-init is the init.
By default, on OpenRC installations, the init will be SysV.
I have switched a few boxen to openrc-init and have to report that it works fine.
