After using xen for quite some time, I just start to wonder what the
"extra" value in the vm config is good for.

The example configs explain it can be used to set the runlevel - but i
never removed this option, so it was alwas  there and set to the
default 4 from the example, and still all my debian domUs start fine
in runlevel 2 as usual.
So I wonder if there's some real-world example of using the extra variable.
