It's not a feature unless a decision has been made and initscripts are 
replaced with something specific.

There is one thing lacking from that writeup and one additional point of 
information:
1) Looking into InitKit, people found that it is a specification for 
event-driven init systems and that upstart would be the main driver's 
implementation ground for that specification.  So using upstart isn't as 
out-there as the writeup leaves it.

2) Casey Dahlin held a FUDCon session to discuss how to replace our 
current initsystem and is the driver of the feature.  Perhaps Casey 
needs to tell us what was discussed at FUDCon so we are on the same page 
WRT where the discussion has gone.

Casey?
