Oddly enough, I used to file bugs quite diligently against distros.
Not one of them was ever investigated or fixed.

Instead, I would get an automated email with each subsequent re-release
of the buggy software, inviting me to further waste my time by resubmitting
the bug report should it still be present.

So.. I simply don't bother now.

And upstart is used for shutdown of at least some services on Ubuntu.
I just wish they'd THINK about sequences.. like umounting NFS
before killing the network devices, or stopping mythbackend
before killing mysql etc..

If I could figure out how to fix their .conf files, I would.

Cheers
