Yeah, IMHO, upstart was waaaaayyyy rushed into Ubuntu. It was clearly
not ready considering how many problems it has caused for anyone not
running a configuration that fits within what has got to be some pretty
narrow testing scenarios (i.e. desktop systems with the entire system in
a single partition?)

I guess it wouldn't have seemed so bad if it were not taking literally
many months and several releases to fix the problems. Again, IMHO it
was a mistake to put it in so soon. But everyone makes mistakes, that's
fair enough. But when one does make a mistake, the right thing to do is
get all hands on deck so that your mistake does become other people's
problem.

Just my $0.02.
