1. Void Linux doesn't claim its BSD inspired, BSD inspired could mean 100 different things.

2. runit is not a "sysv-style" init, its the complete opposite. runit is a supervisor and inspired by daemontools. A "rc init" is more closely related to "sysv-style" than runit is.

3. > I like OpenBSD's init system: super simple and best of all, no bs runlevels!

Runit has no runlevels, can actually automatically restart services when they die, can signal services without relying on pid files (which are prone to race conditions) and can create a pipe between a service and a log service that will never lose any logs.
