Mark Shuttleworth posted recently on Ubuntu sticking with Upstart [1]:<div><br></div><div>"<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Lucida Grande',Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;text-align:justify;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Rumours and allegations of a move from Upstart to SystemD are unfounded: Upstart has a huge battery of tests, the competition has virtually none. Upstart knows everything it wants to be, the competition wants to be everything. Quality comes from focus and clarity of purpose, it comes from careful design and rigorous practices. After a review by the Ubuntu Foundations team our course is clear: we’re committed to Upstart, it’s the better choice for a modern init, innit. For our future on cloud and client, Upstart is crisp, clean and correct. It will be a pleasure to share all the Upstart-enablement patches we carry with other family friends as soon as their release is ready and they can take a breath, so to speak."</span></div>

If systemd significantly lags here or could -- in any case -- stand improvement in automated testing, are there any plans in the works to remedy that?</span></font></div>
