Actually, if I understand things right, preserving order _is_ important
to guarantee. For example, with older XML that lacked per-device <boot
order='n'/>, libvirt would determine which order devices are presented
to guest BIOS boot order based on their position within XML.
Well, I agree. You only need to convince Christophe on this. :)
