Not sure what you are referring to.

Well, the members of this mailing list are definitely interested in the
relative merits of both systems, since it is people on this mailing list
who in the end will have to come up with an informed decision about
systemd adoption in Fedora.

I mean, I have been writing novels here about how awesome systemd is
(and how upstart isn't ;-)). If you think that Fedora would make a
big mistake in adopting systemd, then please point out why, I am pretty
sure people will listen if you keep things technical.

It's always good to hear both sides when a decision needs to be made.

Well. We'll see about that.

Well, it would be good if we'd have more than that. Since you want to
support socket-based activation too now in Upstart it would be great if
we could also come to an agreement on the $LISTEN_FD iface and similar.
