Hi,

I made upstart an optional replacement for sysvinit to
a) test if it works good enough
b) prove that it has no influence on the boot time

b) is done and a) is kind of done.

It works, and it only sometimes shows problems - that I have
no time to debug as debugging it involves rebooting and it's
about impossible to debug other people's machines reboot remotely.

Additionally to that, upstart takes more memory than sysvinit's
init and it makes it harder for people to adminstrate 11.3 and older
systems in parallel. If upstart was the obvious future, I wouldn't
care too much - but systemd[1] at least opens doubts that this will be
the case.

So I would to reduce the feature to "provide upstart" and set it to done
and change the patterns back to sysvinit. Oppinions? If someone really wants
upstart badly, he has to provide a patch as a reply to comment#38 in the 
feature though ;)
