That is nice historical revisionism, considering Canonical was all in on upstart.

  No, the parent you are replying to meant that Canonical only gave up on upstart and accepted defeat (and thus went with systemd) when Debian made that decision.

    Correct - that was what I meant. I remember the init system debates all too well.

  Dude, that is historical true, Upstart was there before systemd , Redhat used upstart too. Then an RH dev created systemd and Arch,Fedora,Debian moved to systemd , Ubuntu followed Debian decision since Ubuntu is based on Debian and they share maintainers/developers.

    Ubuntu held out for quite a bit with upstart, but.
