 +Hi Didier,
 +
 +For me, the primary reason for using OpenRC is that it provides standardization. Yes, it does offer some superior features, like dependency handling of services, cgroups support, service supervision, etc.
 +
 +It does not replace any components that I know of, sysvinit is used for booting and then handles control to OpenRC, and the services provided by Slackware in /etc/rc.d can also be used.
 +
 +It can also provide a faster boot experience and supports parallel starting of services as well.
