No, it was just a joke, you know... but in fact I've checked and I'm already running upstart right now, as part of my Ubuntu LTS system. So really no need to "go back" :P

Ubuntu switched to systemd from 16.04. You must be running 14.04. Ubuntu improved a lot in 4 years.

Yes, it's 14.04. I tried 18.04 a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't really like the new GNOME interface. For me, Unity was (is) a great DE. I know other things improved too, but I'm not really enthusiastic about them either. For example, snaps, whose paradigm of self-contained applications I don't consider an improvement.

Last I checked Upstart was deprecated.

It is, but it's also the init system of some Ubuntu versions still supported, so you can be running upstart on a modern, supported distribution.

4 years old, running a 3.13.x kernel

You and I have very different definitions of modern, I suppose.
