Ubuntu's Upstart event-based init daemon

One of the problem is it is NOT 100% compatible with SysVinit, say if you are trying to use run level 1 or 3,
and you put 1 or 3 in your kernel boot parameter, and boot it, nothing happened, it still uses runlevel 2.
Check this:

It's not too difficult to make it work with this. However, this problem has existed for about 1 year. For some reason, it is not fixed.
It would be great to have a newer init mechanism and it is COMPATIBLE with the old one.
