Are distros staying with upstart? It seems to be developed very slowly with bugs like https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/348455 there for ages.

Fedora 15 is moving to systemd. So is the next subsequent major version of OpenSUSE after the one coming up shortly. Debian is considering moving to systemd as well. Likely Ubuntu will stay with it for the foreseeable future however considering Canonical's stake in it. Scott has moved to Google now and maybe that will change.

Have a handy reference for the OpenSuse or Debian discussion that I could use a starting point to read up on their respective discussions on the matter?

"The project has been evaluating systemd vs SysV init to manage system and service startup, and has decided to stay with SysV init for 11.4 due to issues in getting the last 10% of the integration perfect. "

Word on IRC is that the next version of openSUSE after 11.4 will have it by default. Debian, I can't find any good references (other than the integration in experimental branch). Ask in #systemd for plans.

This might be a good starting point to get an idea about the status of systemd in Debian:

http://wiki.debian.org/systemd

What I wonder about is, if systemd uses so many Linux-specific API. I would expect Debian GNU/kFreeBSD to not use systemd but stay the way it currently is ?
