I don't think xenstored-in-stubdomain is the big barrier to dom0
restartability, that's for sure. Personally, I don't think full dom0
restartability, for things like seamless dom0 kernel upgrade, will ever be
achieved. But I think particular vulnerable or critical services within dom0
can be made restartable.
