Speaking for myself why I prefer file-rc: No symlink hell, copying/distributing just one single file which defines the boot setup is enough, option to 'grep $service /etc/runlevel.conf', it's deterministic and just works,...

Of course upstart isn't affected because it doesn't conflict with sysv-rc (which introduced the breakage).
