Right, config changes come to my mind first of all. But sometimes a 
service, including libvirtd, may fail unexpectedly. In this case I would 
prefer to restart it without disturbing VirtualDomains, which will fail 
eternally.

The question is, why the cluster does not obey optional constraint, when 
both libvirtd and VM stop in a single transition?

In my eyes, these services are bound by a HARD obvious colocation 
constraint: VirtualDomain should never ever be touched in absence of 
working libvirtd. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out a way to reflect 
this constraint in the cluster.
