I would argue that for servers, ifupdown works just fine, so we could focus on 
the newer use cases like laptops and mobility. In fact I cannot see a single 
feature in your list on the Wiki that would be relevant to servers, which 
usually have a static configuration.

Perhaps not, but for me the question is: how well would it serve the purpose 
of netconf? I hope we don't end up reinventing upstart for non-technical 
reasons.

I will see if I can hack up some interesting scripts with upstart. So far its 
capabilities are somewhat limited, but I agree it looks promising.

(Oh, and I wish you a speedy recovery!)
