I will be pleased when Exherbo is added to the list.

(Although 90% of the fun I had with exherbo was struggling to get the systemd in place, and that's nullified in a docker system since docker replaces init to run a single process _other than_ init)

EDIT: I guess now I'm volunteering to try and put Exherbo on the list.



I thought that Exherbo was very diy-oriented distro with with the assumption that users will package their own packages if the need arises.


Yeah, so? If it's a monstrous undertaking just to get the system to first boot, how does that help anyone? :)

I think that cave is just as useful without init, and I think that most people who want to package something in paludis are not going to be having boot dependencies (on average I would guess at least 50% of apps are not services. I don't have any hard statistics and that number could be high or low.)
