MySQL can be used without OpenRC installed on the system; therefore, could this forced dependency be removed such that I can permanently remove OpenRC?

In general init scripts installations should not pull in OpenRC; OpenRC runs the init scripts, the init scripts do not run OpenRC so it is not a dependency.

dev-db/mysql-5.5.32 (!prefix ? dev-db/mysql-init-scripts)
--> dev-db/mysql-init-scripts-2.0_pre1-r3 (sys-apps/openrc)

See the rest of the Portage tree for reference.

Thank you very much in advance.

This was done with Pacho's commit.
The openrc dependency was added on purpose a long time ago for a reason.
