	Each time the kernel RPM is updated with a new version from upstream
the Xen patch needs to be merged with the latest kernel. Sometimes
that's a huge task and the -xen kernel is disabled while the merge is
being worked on. This last happened in rawhide after the
2.6.18-1.2784.2.3.fc7 kernel ... there hasn't been a kernel-xen since.

	When the nightly tree is being built, if there's no kernel-xen package,
then no xen installer images can be built. That's what you're seeing
here.

	AFAIK, the xen-3.0.4 merge with 2.6.20 is almost there ...

Cheers,
Mark.
