Hello!

Keir: What's the current plan with the dom0 kernels? pv_ops dom0 will be the
new 'standard' for development and testing? 

There are a lot of confused people asking about Xen dom0 kernels on mailing 
lists, on irc, on forums, everywhere..

I think we should create a xenwiki page that explains the current dom0
kernel options, where to get them and how to use them.

I think we should also list the OpenSUSE forward-ports, since they're still
easier and more stable option than pv_ops dom0 for average user. 

Would it be clever to make trees for these forward-ports on xenbits, and let the
community (Andrew Lyon and others) to maintain them.. just making sure users
understand they're "temporary" for the time being, and community maintained? 

All the new development efforts should be obviously used to pv_ops dom0.. 

Just trying to think of all the confused users out there..

-- Pasi
