# Workaround and future

It may be of interest to observe that future releases of Ubuntu (after 14.04) 
will no longer use upstart but systemd.
Ref: [Mark Shuttleworth » Blog Archive » Losing 
graciously](http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1316)

In the strict context of this bug report which aims at having traditional 
chroot work in an upstart context, this information should be considered a 
workaround at best.
In the broader context of making some software future-proof, systemd seems like 
the target to study. Systemd provides containers which can be thought of like 
"chroot done right".

Good news is: it appears one can test systemd with existing Ubuntu
releases (from 13.04 onward, I haven't tested myself):

* [How can I replace upstart with systemd? - Ask 
Ubuntu](http://askubuntu.com/questions/420917/how-can-i-replace-upstart-with-systemd)
* [systemd - Ubuntu Wiki](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/systemd)

Thank you for your attention.
