I like to allocate swap spaces in increasing size and decreasing
priority, for that reason, but it does mean more complexity on each
Linux instance.  It's not a big deal once it's set up.  I definitely
would do them at different priority tiers, though, to effectively force
the allocation order to be consistent and predictable.
