Wow, very interesting - quite a big change again in a minor version
change - as always ;)
I'll look deeper into that as soon as I have time cause it sounds like
the things you described have a major impact on configuration file
handling (e.g. does that mean I cannot change a vm's config anymore by
editing it's config file?)

As always, I see no NEWS file in the Xen source packages - do you know
of a place where all these user-visible changes are documented in a
central place, or do you only know these things by watching xen-devel
and all patches the whole day?
