The solution is...

"stalled"?  How about "don't wait on other jobs"

...stats in the API documentation, but...

BTW: the domain isn't silently ignored, instead only a subset of
statistics is returned for the domain.  That subset being statistics
that don't involve querying the underlying hypervisor.

Existing, but if BeginJob fails for some "other" reason, then one
wonders how much of the next steps actually happen.  Furthermore, we
don't clear the LastError.

Let's assume rv = -1 for a moment and it's the last domain that caused
the failure - does that mean the caller then re...

to add to my comment above, if rv < 0, then should we clear the last
error since this code doesn't seem to care...
