Don't know. I definitely would like to see it integrated.
I haven't been able to follow the list too well the last weeks, so
I'm not aware of the latest discussion status on this.

It should not come as a surprise that I like it as well :-)

I'm aware of two complaints
(1) security concerns (you _mount_ the FS in dom0)
(2) the use of kpartx from multipath-tools which seems to be missing
from some ancient distros
Anything else you are aware of?
(1) is a feature and it's the reason why we probably will have pygrub
coexist with domUloader :-(
(2) we could help, by using fdisk -l and losetup rather than kpartx
if the latter is missing; though fdisk -l would limit the supported
partition tables to DOS ones.

Well, domUloader is shipped and used by Novell.
I guess I should set up a project page somewhere in case we can't
get it included in Xen.
