This is not a forum for general gripes about how upstart works. It is a bug
report about a specific issue, /one which has been resolved/.

If anyone is having problems with getting an init script to start up
reliably at boot time on your system, please file a new bug report against
the upstart package in Ubuntu.

As has been stated repeatedly by the developers, *this* bug is fixed, and by
your own admission you are not in a position to provide feedback about any
further issues with startup in Ubuntu releases that use native upstart jobs
by default. If you had an actual bug to report regarding boot reliability,
you would find the Ubuntu developers very responsive to the issue. But you
aren't reporting a bug, you're instead repeating hearsay about boot being
unreliable with upstart when the record does not support this. Please do
not abuse the bug reporting system for general complaints about the
technology decisions that have been made in Ubuntu. Please *do* file new
bug reports for outstanding issues in upstart or elsewhere.
