Oh really. No chance that Gerrit has simply taken a year or two off?
Why are you using software you consider dead? Why not move to s6 if
runit is dead?

If it's that simple, why don't YOU do it? Someone already mentioned
that BSD doesn't have this signal, so incorporating it in the wider
project could be objected to by some people as non-portable. So why
don't YOU make this change on YOUR copy?

And you can start by not calling a project "dead".

I guess your resolution to be a little bit more friendly to each other
didn't last too long.
You're one guy who wants this change. You have many alternatives:
* s6
* lxc.signal.halt
* Patch runit yourself
Everyone else: Just to express my opinion: I use runit every day and
personally have no need to have it react to SIGPWR.
