That's not clear to me at all. Given the broad perception based on http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1316 that upstart's future prospects are now quite limited, I would have been surprised if someone didn't eventually drop upstart-specific support in a package. To assume this portends broad abandonment of alternative init systems seems like a *huge* stretch... Bdale
