Because Ubuntu was pushing hard on boot speed and being more event driven. In places where Ubuntu is focused, it will often diverge from Debian for a while, or in the case of Unity for instance, forever. But it is turning out that systemd still upholds Ubuntu's reasons for making Upstart, but without the "go it alone" problems that have been present since systemd appeared and supplanted Upstart in so many distros. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
