Re: [Xen-users] Why Xen will deprecated? Is it to old?

["Olivier B." <xen.list@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think it's because the (huge) Xen dom0 patch is not really maintained 
for recent kernels. So it's a hard work to include it in a distribution.
But there is actually a big work to integrate this Xen dom0 patch in 
Linux vanilla, so Xen will not need this hard inclusion work.
Squeeze seems to be the last time Debian use the old "2.6.18" patch, but 
in next Debian (in 2 years) Xen will probably be included in Linux 
upstream, no ?
