How come?  As long as the Horde_ShutdownRunner instance is guaranteed  
to run in the Horde environment on the current page, what does it  
matter? (The ShutdownRunner would never use something like Db storage  
because that simply doesn't make any sense).

It is much more useful to be able to define a shutdown task without  
regard to what's *in* the shutdown task - in other words, to allow the  
shutdown task to be able to altered in the future without worrying  
about any state being passed to the task.

I understand that the ShutdownRunner doesn't do much right now, but I  
could see in the future adding something like priority queueing - so  
that shutdown tasks that MUST happen are run first in case a later  
queue task crashes the system and prevents the critical tasks from  
running.
