Mostly what Eoghan said, but with a couple of additions.
So, how insane would people think I am for, if this works, proposing that we ditch upstart?
I think very. In a test VM, sure. Across all of Redbrick's servers? Nuts.
Insane. Completley, batshit, throw that man in a mental institution insane. We might as well just install linux from scratch on our machines.
Yep, totally agree. Systemd is a pretty cool guy, and i totally endorse playing with it, but I don't see it being stable enough for us to deploy it any time soon. The main problem with upstart is the halfarsed job ubuntu have done, most of the things we're running still don't ship with upstart configs, changing the init won't really help with that :( Ubuntu will move to systemd, they've spent so long pissing about with upstart that I expect it won't happen before 12.04.
But, it's been fun, and I've learned a little bit from it. And I'm probably going to beat the thing into getting init to use systemd, just to see how horrible it breaks things.
Who knows, I might even learn a little more along the way.
