Showing some progress on issues like
https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/447654 would excite me far much
more than promises about future features. Not fixing issues described as
"a fundamental design flaw" by upstart's original author for several
years, without an inkling of progress, is what's causing doubts about
upstarts health, at least for me.
