F7 is arriving real soon now and will be  Xen 3.1.0 + 2.6.20 kernel. This
kernel will fix the 3 core kernel-xen bugs that are being experianced by
most people (one 32-bit data corruption issue, 2 SMP bugs).

We're going to apply these same patches to the FC6 kernel-xen which should
also resolve the stability issues seen on the FC6 2.6.20 builds. I don't
have an exact timeframe for this, but it should be in updates-testing at
least fairly soon.

Dan.
