It doesn't really need one, because it behaves exactly as SysV init did.
systemd, as implemented in f14, wouldn't have done; we migrated several
services from being sysv-native to being systemd-native, so an
administrator would need to know how to use both the sysv and systemd
tools to monitor and manage services, and when to use which. With the
Fedora implementation of upstart, if you know how to use sysv style
init, you're totally fine, you don't need to learn anything new.

Again, doesn't matter; we never used any by default. We did use native
systemd services (some issues with systemd could only be solved by
making services systemd-native).
