Hi,

what is the current master plan for libxl?
Currently I see that many features already implemented in Python are again implemented in libxl (migration, CPU affinity). Are the Python tools going to be replaced at some point in the future or are they just reimplemented to be based upon libxl? For the NUMA guest effort I would like to get some ideas on how to handle tool chain implementation. Or is it intended to have both these implementations in parallel (which would be kind of unfortunate)? And how does this affect xend? I see that in opposite to xm some functionality of the xl tool works without having xend running (which I find very handy, cause I spent countless hours during development to just fix some weird xend issues just for calling xm info or xm vcpu-list).
Was there a mail or a document I missed already explaining this?

Thanks!
Andre.
