This is a good question. Probably a more correct one is "Should we dump
/etc/inittab in favour of /etc/event.d?"
I didn't realize that upstart had left the ubuntu world. I've verified that
/etc/inittab is gone from Ubuntu 8.04, can someone also verified that it is
definitely gone from Fedora? And not just supporting upstart.
Also, does anyone have an opinion on whether upstart is going to catch on?
The last I read, it wasn't much of an improvement (performance-wise) to old
init. The home page:
http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
lists:
* Ubuntu 6.10 and later
* Fedora 9 and later
* Debian experimental
as the distros picking it up.
To answer myself, I think that we could probably wait upstart is adopted more
widely but I'd like to hear other opinions.
Regards,
