This is somewhat misleading. There have been many rewrites of the init
system in the past decade. In fact, the Fedora 14 init system has the
capability to be quite different than the SysVinit scripts that were adopted
in the mid-90s. What is true is that Fedora 14 had not switched to using
the incompatible-with-SysVinit features of its default (or any of its
optional) init systems so the presentation and behaviour was almost the
same as older SysVinit.
That's true but due to the way we used it upstart was more or less a
renamed sysVinit.
