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. :)
If there's a compelling reason for keeping it, which Eric just demonstrated, I'm all for keeping the order. All I was saying is that without such a reason, I don't think it's worth going out of our way to keep it, and that not guarateeing it's kept gives us more flexibility if needed. Since it's actually important to keep thing ordered, case is closed. Christophe
