Other than the Ubuntu people, not AFAIK. It seems fairly robust
though; its working in Edgy and so far in Feisty :) Note from the
version number (currently 0.3.1) that its not complete yet; as per
http://www.netsplit.com/blog/articles/2006/08/26/upstart-in-universe
the version that was in Edgy only replaced sysvinit. The version that
will be in Feisty when its released will also replace "cron, atd,
anacron and inetd". It will be interesting to see what other distros
eventually adopt upstart; that should be a good indicator of its
merits.
