Ubuntu upstart system (now also adopted by Debian) is a great improvement over
classic init system as it behaves as a daemon which already knows the PID
number used for each service (so it doesn't need to look for it in a file).
However I haven't experiment with upstart yet.

The problem is that config file is usually a XML/INI/YAML/Ruby file, while a
common init script is writen in Bash (99% of times), so reading a config
parameter from the init script involves dirty parsing and so... :(
Well, I agree that using PID file is ugly and not cool at all, but it's widely
used and it's what we have now :)
