I agree this is interesting. I'd like it if someone who understands it better than I would write an article for LWN on this.

You mean like this, or were you referring to something else?

I was thinking of something more technically detailed. I've read the blog entries about it and I get the general idea.

What I don't know yet (and I'd like to) is what this means for the customized initialization scripts I'm running.

I'd be interested in someone trying out the upstart native process and publishing a lessons-learned/how-to on migrating scripts from the Debian sysvinit to upstart.

I've got a test server running Edgy now and I'd be willing to experiment with this is there were some footsteps to follow in.

You could probably figure it out yourself. I know it comes with some sort of -compat package that you could compare with the original init scripts.

Yes, I'm sure I could with sufficient time.

I think it would be useful for someone who has sufficient time, patience, and experience to get themselves out of trouble (I'm lacking at least two of those just now) to get in under the hood and let us know how it is going.

Since there are other sysvinit replacement efforts in progress, perhaps a compare and contrast article would be useful.
