I agree with Thomas. I think that discarding old RHEL init.d (upstart) support is a hasty decision: bird is for production systems and linux distro for production environment which uses RPM packages is RHEL or it clones (mostly).
Although it is no matter for me because I'm not using bird rpm package provided by developers. I'm rebuilding it from src.rpm with bgp summary patch (by the way, does a honorable developers plans to implement 'bgp summary' command in vanilla bird?) and my initscript patch.
I will look at the initscripts. But we haven't agreed to accept 'bgp summary'. It is not align with BIRD philosophy. But will continue discussing about it. Ondrej

Hey guys,
First of all I fully agree with Arnaud's changes, it is definetely a neater design. I haven't look at the init script yet but if the code follows his ideas then it is an improvement (especially for puppet mgt). Merci Arnaud.

Fedora is a very good OS but with very new ideas [..]
Ondrej, Eliezer, To summarize all RHELs are still using init.d script however RHEL7 and EL clones will use systemd. So Q1 2014 or so, the systemd script will start to be more relevant for people that use RHEL in production (like 90% of the audience that use a RedHat OS or clone in production).
Indeed Fedora is designed for Workstation, not servers IMO. Fedora is a testbed for improvements that will be carefully selected for the next RHEL.
