We believe, as we have since its first deployment, that upstart is the right boot architecture for Linux both now and in the future. And contrary to the hype, upstart has a significant head start on systemd now in terms of real-world burn-in, which isn't going away. If there are no compelling reasons to switch to systemd now, I don't think it's realistic to think that's going to change in the future. > - Upstart vs systemd will be decided again in e.g. 6 months time or a > multiple of that It would be a very large multiple.
