I was pretty sure that this is documented, but apparently this is not the case,
neither the FAI guide nor fai-do-scripts(1) tells you about this. Thomas, did I
miss a point where this _is_ documented?

Either way: The order of classes defines the order of execution, that is:

- DEFAULT is first
- LAST is last
- in between go your classes in the order defined.
