Removing gentoo

[Menelkir]

I think gentoo can be safely removed from the list, since they removed opentmpfiles and they're using systemd-tmp. Same for udev (they're using systemd-udev now).

[Menelkir]

Or maybe creating a section specifically for distributions that uses systemd parts without using the init itself.

It's unfortunate - though somewhat necessary - that systemd-utils, for tmpfiles and udev (and for some also boot) is the default setup

However, i've seen eudev commits stirring (https://github.com/eudev-project/eudev/commits/master) so perhaps a resurrection is coming.
At present, it is still entirely possible to run Gentoo without systemd, so perhaps waiting until this removal date;

I've tried, it's too much entangled unless you make a really simple install and dodge everything.
Bu the problem of systemd-utils is beyond that, many people offered help to maintain tmpfiles and udev and got dismissed. Gentoo core devs just want systemd, that's the unfortunate true.

eudev + hardenedtmpfiles from this overlay https://github.com/KenjiBrown/without-systemd
But systemd-utils in default gentoo is really sad.
