I remember reading about it and thought it seemed wrong, but presumably the author did his research and knew what he was doing. Oh well. His attitude and the readability of Upstart code were very good, though. The Upstart design was probably easier to implement. With the systemd design, the dependency tree needs to be traversed bottom up (figure out what needs to be started to start the targeted set of services), then top down (start dependees when dependencies are ready). With Upstart, top down was enough. Or so it seems.
