No idea who funded the work, but some Fedora notes can be found via
<URL:http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FCNewInit>. Fedora have already
switched to upstart.
Switching /sbin/init to upstart in Debian today is a seamless
operations, which keep the boot system working exactly as before (just
another process calling /etc/init.d/rc :). This of course only give
us theoretical advantages. To get actual advantages, we need to use
the available features in individual packages.
Happy hacking,
