Please stop comparing everything to what was done for Upstart.  That was
done in a different set of circumstances, and for almost everything,
Upstart was done in a backwards compatible manner.  Upstart-specific
setups were discouraged (in part because of documentation), so Upstart
was never much more than a different program to manage a sysv-init
setup.

Requirements are an evolving thing as people learn from the past.
Responding to every request with a comparison to what was done with
Upstart is pointless and irritating.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
