hello! i am a new maintainer for the openrc init system/service manager, and working on user services for openrc[1][2], do i'd like to gather some opinions. currently, dbus provides two methods for service activation, traditional (so fork+exec if i'm reading the code right), and via systemd. while personally i'm not a fan of automatic activation of services, i do see it's a mechanism many things rely on (notification daemons, xdg portals, for example), so having those be managed as hotplugged openrc services, would be a benefit for users of openrc-based distros. my question is, after user services are implemented, would there be any interest in patches allowing the usage of openrc as a backend for this activation? 1: https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/pull/723 2: https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/tree/user-services
