Currently, linux kernel 2.6.18 is used for Xen 3.1.x.

Would it be possible (or advisable) to make kernel 2.6.18.8 the default for Xen 3.1.3 - just as it was done with the Xen 3.0.x branch and kernels like 2.6.16.26 & 2.6.16.33? There are quite a few security (and regular) bugs fixed in the 2.6.18.x point releases.

Thanks.
