Definitely. Other distributions/projects are quite active in this area, |
| 8 |
and the advantage Gentoo had in init scripts, namely named runlevels, |
| 9 |
real dependencies and parallel startup, are melting away. Ubuntu will |
| 10 |
soon have an init script system that actively can restart failed |
| 11 |
services, or react to system events like "ACPI: system now on battery"*. |
| 12 |
This isn't Roys itch (it may even be the complete opposite, though |
| 13 |
Ubuntu's system is reported to be way faster than what they had before), |
| 14 |
but I'd really encourage ppl to give the competition a long good look**. |

* I know, you can force ACPID into providing this right now, but they |
| 25 |
use it for more than that. Plus, with Gentoo you have to create a new |
| 26 |
runlevel to switch to, upstart can figure out what to do. |
