Comment 1 for bug 1261765

Hi Ben, first, sorry that you're having an infuriating user experience. I wrote that message and it was most certainly not my intention to infuriate anyone.

The file where that message lives is /etc/init/failsafe.conf, which belongs to the upstart package, so I'm reassigning the bug as such.

There is definite room for improvement, and I think you've suggested a few excellent pieces of information that could be added. We could, indeed, take a look at the interfaces that are not yet up and add those to the status message. Please understand, before this message existed, the boot would have raced with all of that network configuration, so interfaces would have been appearing at any point during the boot, which led to even more infuriating non-deterministic behavior.

I will ask that you separate your emotions from the facts in future communication on the issue. There is a lot of frustration in the bug description, and I understand that. However, we aren't going to be productive if we can't communicate effectively.
