Upstarts for non-root users

[Yang Zhang]

I seem to remember being told by upstart folks that work is under way
to allow non-root users to configure their own jobs for upstart (not
just start/stop jobs). Is there an ETA on this?

Alternatively (or better yet), can users run their own upstarts/inits?
This seems to be a more general solution.

Currently, we're using a mix of supervisord and our own control
scripts that capture some of upstart's dependency/event infrastructure
(which supervisord lacks).
