The only 'useful' place is in the run once the boot order - as we
only define as the boot sequence 'Hard Disk' without mentioning
which disk.
We can clearly replace 'Hard Disk' with the list of all disks (and
let the guest decide) and deprecate that flag ASAP, or we can have
the list of disks in that list (and deprecate that flag).
+1. It's the wrong way of modeling the boot relation which makes user
interfaces very confusing. You can see this in places like foreman which
has to show a help text explaining it.
