Reconsideration requires motivation and time. At the moment I posses neither of them. I know little about upstart and I will not reconsider until I learn more, which is not a priority for now. > [1] http://web.dodds.net/~vorlon/wiki/blog/Upstart_in_Debian/ This link reaffirmed my position to avoid integrating upstart for now. The article mention a little decrease in boot time which is nice however by itself probably is not enough to justify the work needed to introduce upstrat support. More important the same essay says that OpenSUSE switched from upstart to systemd which I interpret as evidence that upstart may not be suitable because of some problems with it. (Otherwise why would they stop using it?) Finally Ubuntu's decision to use upstart could be politically motivated and therefore we have to think twice about the pros and cons for Debian. So far I've seen upstart advocacy only from people affiliated with Ubuntu. Is there are any independent reviews made by people (preferably by DDs) without obvious connections to Ubuntu?
