Some news sites were reporting Xen had been merged around that timeframe but 
it's not entirely clear why they thought that - probably one of them got it 
wrong and all the others copied them ;-)

Nobody's exactly planning to substitute Xen for UML in the mainline.  I'd say 
Xen is likely to get merged into some kind of "official" kernel in the next 
couple of releases (i.e. either -mm or the mainline - not sure what the plan 
is).  After this point UML and Xen will coexist in the kernel for the 
foreseeable future.

In preparation for this, some restructuring is being done to the Xen 
architecture code to make it more palatable to the kernel developers by 
maximising common code with the x86 and x86_64 architectures - this should 
make maintaining the Xen code easier.  After that it'll get submitted for 
merging.

Cheers,
Mark
