Okay, well I am satisfied by the lesser idea of having to specify
order of all domains but if the implementer of the solution isn't
and decides to implement it so not-specified domains shut down first
then that works for me too so have no objection to it.

The idea of the domid controlling/influencing order of shutdown
would not work for me as to me that is not much different to how we
have things now - domains shut down in increasing order of domid. I
can't control it so I just would continue using my own shutdown
script.

Should we move discussion to xen-users at lists.xen.org then?

Cheers,
