The _current_ behavior doesn't define an order unless its in DAEMONS.
I've reverted _your_ behavior, which I don't feel has proper
justification.
I referred to extras/initscripts which indeed does. Please read the
code:
http://projects.archlinux.org/initscripts.git/tree/rc.shutdown?id=2010.07-1
Suppose I start daemons foo, bar and baz (in that order) after Arch
boots. Why then, should the shutdown order of these daemons change
merely because I had to restart bar, which is independent of foo and
baz?
Because you know which is the right order and rc.shutdown just rolls
back what you did. ^^
