It's a tad annoying for us kinda-sys-admins that run full stacks in AWS (or other cloud services) and have to maintain not only domain knowledge for the code we're writing to run on the stack, but the server architecture and services of the OS we choose. My time is limited, and Upstart scripts have been written and run wonderfully.
Ubuntu smooths out many things, which is why I (and I guess many others) choose it for my main server OS. I'm glad to hear 14.04 LTS will still have Upstart support, but this means I have to put "move to systemd" as a medium-range ticket, which is sadly more time wasted.
Go progress! But comon, progress! Stop making more work for me. :)
