They dropped Upstart for systemd in 15.04, after the decision was already made over a year earlier. They're also going to replace it in Ubuntu Touch as well.
It's worth noting that Upstart came at least four years prior to systemd, so it wasn't NIH.
- kbenson 11y agoI'm aware, but whether they are currently still using it doesn't really change whether or not they started the project, which is all I thought mattered for the discussion. I wasn't casting any negative judgement against Canonical/Ubuntu for that, just the opposite actually (even if my limited dealings with upstart were not pleasant), that's a big way distro innovation happens.
