Upstart is not actually dependency based, it's event based. Which is similar but not exactly the same.
It's worth mentioning that the -idea- of systemd if limited to replacing pid 1 with a more reasonable system and something akin to unit files is an excellent one and would be an improvement on OpenRC. Sadly as many have noted systemd come with a lot of very very bad side effects..
