(Get the code!)
Thank you, Scott!
As the proud owner of a buggy system, that often fails to boot, leaving me with a garbled and unreadable kernel panic message, this "Wishlist" item is not so trivial. As a struggling newbie, reading that I should go backwards and put sysvinit back in action, using instructions I don't understand, is less than confidence inspiring.
That this bug is considered a Wishlist item is ridiculous, upstart was clearly not ready for the job... I don't really understand what the getty is, but I am pretty sure nothing should be spewed all over it.
That the only option for anyone wishing to check the health of their startup or shutdown, whether they be newbie or elite, is to have to rig it, is absurd in the extreme.
In a perfect world, startup and shutdown messages would be optional, because the perfect system would never have problems and reading those messages would be for educational purposes only. It is not a perfect world, not a perfect operating system and those messages are NOT optional.
