Ubuntu and Fedora has already embraced it.
Any ideas when will Arch switch to upstart based booting system ?
Thanks, Madhur
For the nex time, first try to implement this feature/thing in AUR and get it documented via the archwiki.
If you want the devs to get interested in a new feature, atleast provide them with something to test and with arguments, cause you gave none...
And "ubuntu use it" is not enough as an argument :-)

In my opinion: "Ubuntu uses it" is a very strong reason NOT to use Upstart. Ubuntu may be a very user friendly distribution, but take that away and you get a distribution that's mediocre at the best of times. And its largely because the Ubuntu devs have no clue how to actually do a Linux system properly. Upstart may be "fast" but I much prefer Arch's init system (With SysV pretending to act like BSD Init.) which is a lot more flexible and much simpler. At the risk of sounding like a dick, sometimes I wish there was a way to flag ideas on this mailing list as Stupid Ideas(tm). Switching Arch to Upstart would be one of them.
