So what does a userland vs kernelland fight bring to the table? Nothing. This is about mutual exclusive init systems where one is a complete whack crack piece of deadware and the other is not.Quote:

You have to understand this:
Upstart is modern, it works and it is well tested (does Systemd have a decent test suite now?).
Ubuntu does not need to switch to Systemd right now.
I do agree that having one standard init system everywhere would be great for many reasons. And Canonical would probably be happy to spend man power somewhere else than Upstart.
I think they may reconsider this after 14.04.
But such a change is not trivial. Especially with such a fast moving target as Systemd.
Hopefully. systemd is much more user friendly and it's much easier to configure. It's also much more powerful, so I hope they'll switch.Quote:

Oh the joy. Refering to Shuttleworths FUD is allways fun. Oh wait it is not. Because it is debunked. Go debunk yourself.Quote:
