Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Xend vnet support to be removed
> Unless someone speaks up, Xend vnet support will be removed.

That's a shame, but unless someone steps up to maintain it then I'm
agree it makes sense to pull it. 

We should certianly hide it from the usage message. Perhaps we need a
special environment variable or command line option to un-hide broken or
under-development features? I think this would be generally useful.
