I wouldn't mind changing this to 0 by default if there are no
objections.
Barak, Gal, what do you think? Do you see any strong reason for
keeping a grace period?
The idea was to allow a logged in user to orderly close his work right?
For that I'm not sure that even 30 seconds is enough.
So this shutdown grace period really depend if there are users connected to the VM or not.
The question is how to easily distinguish - maybe depend on a spice session connection?
That may be too heuristic.
But in any case the timeout should be per configuration and not be up-to-doubled in the
code.
