I had 3.0.3-testing written in a script that installs dependencies
downloads and builds Xen from a local mirror we use so we're not burning
up needless bandwidth. I forgot to change it :)

It did all the way up to 3.0.3-testing (cpp / bcc were missing), the
makefile didn't stop if (at least those) externals failed to build.

Yes, since it was released it looks like they did change so it broke
instead of letting you find out later. I never noticed it in testing
because I had yet to try HVM guests (no good hardware till now) because
it didn't break the build.
I'm really impressed with 3.0.3 , and glad I can finally partake in all
of the fun. The new X2 with 4GB was racked for me as a "Sandbox" so I'm
much like a kid at Christmas getting to use stuff I could only look at
before.
