The support for Upstart would be welcome for sure however we need to avoid
the same mistakes we did in Systemd support; I'd say it ought to start as a
separate layer in meta-oe for the beggining and after it has been properly
polished we can evaluate the possibility to merge it onto oe-core.

Current systemd classes can give you a good work base.
