I rebuilt my test/debug box with fedora 9 to find that it will not do dom0.
I am going to have to wipe & install fedora 8 or CentOS 5 or something.

1) will dom0 appear (be added back) at some point in fedora 9 lifetime ?

2) why was it taken out ?

I gather that dom0 support will be added back in fedora 10.
