I was not aware that there was such a group, this is nice! I think we 
should mention this in:
* OpenRC's wiki page (https://wiki.parabola.nu/OpenRC)
* Somewhere in the installation guide 
(https://wiki.parabola.nu/Installation_Guide)

There's also a group called openrc-base 
(https://www.parabola.nu/groups/x86_64/openrc-base/).
Is there really a need for having two separate groups? Can't they be 
merged into one?
