I'm really sad about this. I love Upstart and think it's an elegant init process implementation. Anyone more informed than myself care to summarize the key points in making the decision?
The summary is essentially just that systemd is just a bit more elegant. Basically the (non gamed) votes had those two at the top, but in the end upstart had a few more pain points, and systemd had a few more features.
- SystemD parallelization is more automatic.
- SystemD has built in logging for all managed processes.
- SystemD has Socket Activation (start process on demand)
- SystemD has more momentum in other major distros (Fedora, Arch)
- etc..
