Sorry for the "wayback" response, but I missed this post the first time
through.

The default xen-unstable builds -xen0 and -xenU kernels, so as far as I
know, no one around these parts is testing -xen kernels.  If you believe
that -xen0 / -xenU are deprecated, it would be good to change the build
defaults.

Especially in light of 3.0.2 release coming up.
