It's not been removed on purpose (the code is still there in
tools/python/xen/xend/XendVnet.py).  That said, there are no automated
tests for it, and no-one is actively maintaining it, so it's not
surprising that it's broken.  Daniel's post that you mention above
says that it's been broken for over a year now, which gives you an
indication about how little attention this feature is receiving.

If you want to use them, I'm sure we'd be happy to take Xend patches to
fix any breakages.

Ewan.
