Bill had to do the work of doing the reversion; that's taken him a few
hours. We (QA) now should do some quick testing to make sure the
reversion works as intended. Everyone who can should go ahead and update
to today's updates-testing, which should include the relevant updates,
and check that the systemd-sysvinit package disappears, upstart becomes
the default init system, and their system boots successfully. I'll test
a live spin today too, to make sure that boots right and firstboot
behaves. Then we'll hopefully go ahead with RC1 as we would have done
with systemd.
