Except that upstart didn't deliver too much, unlike systemd. Fedora used upstart (RHEL6 still does) and it wasn't very different from the traditional SysV init. I also wasn't able to figure out how to use it to its full potential, it looked too complicated. On the other hand perhaps I'm biased because Lennart provided a series on systemd for administrators.
