OTOH, unix runlevels formalize a kind of set up / tear down sequencing that might have some value. Not sure, shutdown of a whole computer's more complicated than Leo shutdown, which can mostly be handled by the gc and OS without any effort on our part. But having a list of named stages might be a useful thing for any startup redesign that does occur, to help with thinking about at what stage things should happen.
