nice description! This irritates me too. We have physical machines with KVM with many VM (including ones without ACPI complient OS) and stopping all takes even 20 minutes or so. Since Jessie, this machines are inaccessible during shutdown :(.

Yes. I didn't analyze the problem in depth and not very systemd savvy yet too. I'm looking and dependencies a bit now. I tried to run on one virtualisation machine: systemd-analyze dot --order libvirt-guests.service ssh.service networking.service >/tmp/liber-order.dot then I removed from liber-order.dot all machine-qemu.*scope nodes (VM's itself - too complicated graph). libvirt-guests.service depends on all VM's on this host simply. dot -Tps liber-order.dot >liber-order.ps There is uploaded image: http://postimg.org/image/5vpw54jjl/full/ So maybe to add dependency libvirt-guests.service After ssh.service? This is probably not acceptable as general case anywhere :(, so not for bug-report. Generally there can be libvirt-guests.service host without ssh.service... I'll play with it yet.
