Yes, but the support is quite new and is limited in some ways (IO performance, 
no suspend/resume, no migration yet) but it can run unmodified OSes on both 
VT and Pacifica hardware.

> When is 3.0.2 likely to be released?

Within a week or two, maybe...  It's in -rc at the moment.  Previous released 
of 3.x also had unmodified OS support, but only on VT (and there have been 
fixes and optimisations since then)

Cheers,
Mark
