Just to clarify:
In OpenRC I can have *arbitrary* runlevels?
Not like as I remember from years ago when I used Linux, "runlevel 1 2 3 4  
5",
but any number of "default" "online" "maintenance",
and thus I'd have *sets* of services I could conveniently start and stop  
together?


But there is no possibility of separating base system /etc and ports  
/usr/local/etc?
The separation between the two is something I'd not want to loose.
