Hrm, this sounds wrong.  The work our Xen team has done to make Xen functional 
for Fedora is flat out amazing.  The situation they face with a Xen upstream 
not moving off an older kernel, Fedora steamrolling forward with as new of 
kernels as they come, and no Xen in the upstream kernel is a very very tough 
place to be in.  I don't mean to detract from the hard work they've done.  
What I'm trying to point out is that the situation is pretty bad for having a 
rock solid Xen in Fedora 7, and what our team has done is great, but I 
wouldn't expect it to be perfect.
