Isnt that the most obvious reason to distribute an additional patched
kernel? There is a user need and a patch..

Of course it is when it is to prevent a fairly substantial regression
from etch. Whether etch should have shipped a dom0 or not is a
different question and a little late to complain about now; we just have
to do the best we can with what we have.

an lenny+half with upstream merged version makes sense indeed.
until then people can rely on etch + etch unofficial images.
the regression would have been *huge* if we had no guest image support
at all, but that got fixed and is tested.

openvz is actively working on namespace merge and using the emerging
bits. their patchsize is decreasing.

Which does not change the fact that the patch in this form will never be
accepted.

sure patchsets of such size are never gobed in *one* step.
here you'll find a nice metric on their merge success:

We could recommend kvm+xenner+libvirt as "dom0" for people with
hardware virtualization support:
http://kraxel.fedorapeople.org/xenner/
I don't think we have this packaged yet though. If anybody wants to work
on this I'd be happy to help.

Umh... AFAICT, that would only work for people using Xen for
paravirtualization, not for full virtualization. Nowadays, Xen's
administration tools are still way more complete than KVM's - But I
think it is in place to tell people... That KVM is the way.

Is the forward-ported Xen patch for 2.6.26 available somewhere, so
that an unofficial build of a dom0 2.6.26 for debian could be build?
