There are two different thoughts in my mind: 1. This shows in a very wrong direction. Upstart support might not be useful for long, but it is now, and dropping a useful feature should only happen if there is a cause for. 2. There are things I worry more about with this particular maintainer than that. So if we think about overruling him, there might be better uses for.
