Yes--that's the key.   It seems like a myth prevails among some users that the 
dom0 and domU should somehow match (distro, version, etc.).  That's nonsense of 
course.
Even users who want to stay with RHEL for dom0, whatever the reason, have a 
perfectly viable option for years to come:  RHEL 5.  Once RHEL 5 reaches EOL, 
we'll likely have a plethora of options.  Perhaps system manufacturers will be 
shipping a hypervisor in firmware by then, who knows.  (But if not, XCP works 
too.)
