Oh boy, there's even a lot of play in such a "simple" thing: This page
speaks of starting B after at least one of the As is "started", we
would prefer starting B if at least m of the As start up, but only
after trying to start all As, not as early as possible.

Does this also apply to "multiple-active" vs. "start_stop"?
