There's no need to yell, you only explained that a couple of minutes
ago, before I wrote the above mail. From your blog post, it sounded very
much like compiled initscripts were what you were proposing.
This seems perfectly reasonable, but at the same time, when you explain
it this way, it doesn't seem like anything that needs a new init system
to happen. You can move stuff into the daemons themselves no matter what
init system you're using, and it seems like upstart would be open to
moving appropriate things into the init system. That does seem like a
perfectly sensible thing to do, though, so I hope it happens, whatever
init system we wind up with.
Well. Sure. Upstart can copy every feature we have. But while all of
this is still in the future for Upstart we already have implemented a
fair bit of it in systemd.
