At least in Fedora, Upstart was introduced (in F9) in backward
compatibility mode -- with the regular /etc/inittab and SysV
style init scripts.

Also, take note that upstart is currently going through significant
redesign. Assuming the new code would make it into F10 (maybe as an
update as beta has started), there would be definitely a migration
plan from the old initscripts.
