Has anyone considered the possibility of introducing upstart to oe-core, 
perhaps as an alternative?

How would people feel about patches to do that?

I ask because "classic", (read, "former" and "proprietary"), WebOS used 
upstart and we're considering whether to attempt to continue to do so as 
we move to oe-core, or whether to attempt to convert all of our 
components over.  Either way, we have to convert a bunch of service 
scripts.  And if we're going to convert a bunch of service scripts for 
oe-core components, (as distinct from porting service scripts for Palm 
components), then it would be much easier of those patches were to find 
their way into oe-core rather than needing to be maintained separately.
