As I migrated from Lucid to Precise there was quite a bump when I realized that following lines:
auto eth0
auto eth1
would unsuspectingly have quite an impact on boot time if one of cables is currently unplugged.
Users who use mobile phones with auto/static configurations also have same problem when phone is not attached.

Clint Byrum gave some nice ideas for workarounds in https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ upstart/ +bug/839595/ comments/ 39
If you ask me as a user I would prefer to have seamless transition and expect same behavior from "auto".
However, introducing auto-nowait will also be not quite so obvious but nice/easy- to-use/ grasp solution.
Please keep trying to make Ubuntu usable by mere mortals and thank you for your patience.
