In general I really prefer restartable daemons especially if the client can auto restart them if they are gone missing, it makes users and sysadmins life so much easier (and avoid the need to start the daemon at bootup, which is yet another pain), though I understand this may be hard to achieve because we have too much state.
Well, the problem here is that you want the daemon to start guests and domains at boot time. That's the main reason for the initscript.
With respect to the unification of the various daemons, this also sounds like a really nice thing to have, but I must admit I'm a bit lost, I don't have really a clear picture of all the requirements (and probably won't until we finalize at least a first version of the networking support).
Stop confusing me! :-) s/networking/remote/ Cheers, Mark.
