Comment 27 for bug 406397

I personally think being different from everyone else is a problem.

Also, this is the sort of bug that should be architecturally impossible in an init system. init shouldn't have to track state perfectly to function on the basic level of 'start jobs' 'stop jobs'.

I understand there are benefits for workstations with this (boot speed etc), but for a server upstart is notably less good than old-school init - even without the bugs, it's still very opaque - what with its lack of logging etc.
