But systemd isn't going to be in 14.04. Like bananas, over the next year we'll be moving our production servers off of 12.04. Whatever we switch to will be in production for 3-4 years. So we have to ask ourselves, do we want to be stuck with upstart for another 3-4 years?

There are tons of production servers and laptops using upstart. It will take a while for Debian and Ubuntu to migrate to systemd so you're probably overthinking it.

RHEL7 isn't out yet, what server distros can you run in production today that use systemd?

Not to mention... 'worldview' was OK, when RHEL6 was shipped with defaulting to upstart.. But then later NIH'ing to systemd? .. Even if Ubuntu hadn't committed to switching, suggesting that Upstart is anything other than a stellar contribution to FOSS is BS.

Whilst on the subject of world view, how is cloud-init working out? This is a Ubuntu technology that has become a defacto standard for ALL cloud images initialisation handling across every OS (incl. Windows!). With worldview like this, keep it up.
