Public bug reported: Apparently <boot order> is the more modern and recommended way of doing the boot ordering but we're not currently using it in that way yet. This could be a small RFE.
We would use the existing "boot_index" interface for users to indicate the desired boot order and then internally we will use <boot order> instead of <boot dev> [2] (what we have today) to honor it. Because there would be no API change and the changing boot order is incorrect behavior, we are going to consider this as a bug instead of a RFE. The <boot order> syntax is available since libvirt 0.8.8 [1], so this will be backportable without concern for availability of minimum libvirt version.
