Not particularly in Fedora, but for RHEL there is a definite use for running
RHAS 2.1 and RHEL 3 on a newer (kernel 2.6-based) RHEL release. Oracle 9i
seems to really like RHAS 2.1, running on RHEL 3.0 requiring compat stuff, and
nevermind getting it to run on RHEL 4.

Not that I'd necessarily claim it's worth the effort to maintain, but for the
18 month life / 5 year support lifecycle of RHEL, providing such a Xen-based
migration path would have some utility.

Particularly if Xen 3.0 ends up supporting live-migration and evacuation of
VMs across clustered nodes.
