where did "6 minutes" come from? existing practice in the open-source
hypervisor code?

I'd think the interface that needs to be stable is the one for marking
domains as autoboot; exactly which SMF service makes this happen
shouldn't matter (and IMHO inter-domain dependencies should be treated
like inter-host dependencies in networking: services must be able to
cope with an unexpected disappearance or restart of a peer).
