That argument would have worked better if it hadn't been the case that Fedora used upstart for a few years.

  Main thing is that Ubuntu used it in their LTS distro in 14.04 when everyone else had already shifted to .service files.

    And that argument would have worked better if Ubuntu 14.04 had not been released in April 2014, before Debian made its decision. It was only Debian, by the way, not everyone else. Indeed, everyone has has not shifted to .service files even now.

      When I say everyone, I mean all the major Linux distros - Debian, RHEL, SuSE, Arch. Obviously Yggdrasil isn't using systemd and that doesn't change anything.

        Which is wrong since, as mentioned, Debian had not shifted at the time.
