As a porter, I'd slightly prefer we switch to OpenRC on GNU/kFreeBSD.
But, if Upstart were chosen as the default on Debian GNU/Linux, that
might be sufficient to change my mind; we could stay more closely in
sync with the Linux ports and avoid so much duplication of effort that
way. So, I would agree exactly with what Andi said.
I suspect that init job/service/script/"thingy" writers would prefer a
systemd-OpenRC combo as well, because they are both dependency based
and the logic of the "thingy" can be more easily transferred to the
other format.
