 cause issues. 
The Ubuntu LTS is upstart and will not change. Two years till 1604 which
will be systemd. Considering where the init -> upsart -> systemd thing has
gone, I wouldn't want to be working on MIR. It seems in the end Ubuntu
follows Debian... So MIR (X replacement) may also come and go. Kubuntu it
seems will keep X alive and well and xubuntu and ubuntustudio may continue
to use X as well.
