Don't feel bad, I explained it backwards.  The events need to be
triggered from upstart tasks.  Standard init tasks can't trigger
events.   For instance the "network up" event is triggered by the
network task completeing.  If the network task is old style it can't
trigger the event.  It wouldn't take much to decide on a few events
and implement the tasks to complete them.   I'm still hoping the
library of tasks will grow so we don't have to write them.  If we
start too early our events might (will) differ.  Having someone
coordinate with the ubuntu folks would be a good idea if we decide to
use it.
