Remember, we're trying define an end goal that we're all comfortable with.

Can you be more specific?

Obviously.  But notice how "i*", "r*", and "t*" are in alphabetic
order so the script run order can easily be determined using "LANG=C
ls -1 *.sh" (or the python equivalent); perhaps you have better names
that capture the same intent and preserve alpabetic ordering (which
can't be said of *init.sh *run.sh NN*.sh and final.sh).

To accommodate experimentation, kvmrunner.py already orders things:

first in order
- nicinit.sh on nic
- eastinit.sh on east
then in alphabetic order
- northinit.sh on north
- roadinit.sh on road
- westinit.sh on west
then in order
- *<domain>*.sh on <domain>
then finally:
- final.sh on all domains

so there's already something to play with.
