Our reason for this is that a HA enabled service should be *cleanly* shutdown.
Stopping a VM is like pulling the power cord out, which can be bad :)
We can re evaluate that. For us HA managed service are thought for service
which have to run and do that always.
"Killing" them often seems not very highly available, gracefully shutting them
down for maintenance or such things seems more correct, or am I missing
something here?
