# Workaround and future

It may be of interest to observe that future releases of Ubuntu (after 14.04) will no longer use upstart but systemd.
Ref: [Mark Shuttleworth » Blog Archive » Losing graciously](http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1316)

In the strict context of this bug report which aims at having traditional chroot work in an upstart context, this information should be considered a workaround at best.
In the broader context of making some software future-proof, systemd seems like the target to study. Systemd provides containers which can be thought of like "chroot done right".

Good news is: it appears one can test systemd with existing Ubuntu releases (from 13.04 onward, I haven't tested myself):

Thank you for your attention.
