I hate to resort to the "voice of authority" here, but... I'm fairly
certain I have a much greater insight than you into:

- Fedora/Red Hat's packaging of upstart vis-a-vis SysVinit
- Fedora/Red Hat's stance on the inclusion of GPLv3 software

As it stands, Fedora/Red Hat does not care that upstart (or other core
Linux software) is GPLv3; furthermore, SysVinit is *not* packaged
as an alternative init system.
