OpenRC

The trigger was age-verification: when that law was 'cooking' and systemd added a field for it, Cordova decided the init system had outgrown its job. His swap command tried to purge systemd and install OpenRC in one chained step — and one reader spotted that if the purge half-fails, OpenRC never installs.

A second voice cut deeper: OpenRC hands back dependency ordering, crash supervision, and cgroup resource accounting as your problem. That, not the install, is the real work.
