This type of question, appearing on a research list, still amazes me.

Yes, the port was worth the effort.

This is what happens when you don't separate xen-users from xen-developers. Having said that, when I was compiling the index of virtualization papers, I could not find papers on the nuances of Xen porting. Perhaps this is not a common research topic in virtualization because other para-virtualization efforts have not attracted as many ports as Xen. An index of Xen porting resources could help future ports. In the absence of papers, are there known mailing list threads or other notes that could be compiled into an index? E.g. a comparison of the Plan 9 and NetBSD ports.
