One of the biggest restrictions that lguest maintains is that it is
guest and host kernel versions are tightly coupled - for the stated
purpose of lguest completely appropriate, but definitely limits is
usefulness as a replacement for pv Xen. So: even if lguest was in
Fedora, you'd probably not get from it what you'd like to get from it.
