Missing /etc/initab in Ubuntu? Ubuntu replaces Init with Upstart

I hate fragmentation in Linux.

Here comes more fragmentation and one more headache to learn in Linux world.

Ubuntu replaced init with upstart. That is why there is no more /etc/initab. More information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upstart .

It is supposed to be a big improvement. Then why not push for it to be part of LSB. In that case, this will be a standard on all Linux distributions and we don't have worry with too many headaches.
