That's a great idea for many situations, but not for all. If the DomU
fails to boot (eg because the drbd backing store is offline or
something) it would be nice to have the domain exit so that monitoring
can kick in and alert someone, rather than it just sitting there in a
running state waiting for user input that might never come.

I know it's probably a heap more work, but could the behaviour be driven
by a config file setting? Otherwise this new behaviour is going to be a
regression.

Thanks

James
