You didn't miss any email, we were planning on talking about this at
the next XenSummit.
Libxenlight is almost feature complete already: there are few things
missing, but not much.
Implementing the missing features and making the library rock solid are
our top priorities and we hope to get them done by the 4.1 release.
We also want to port xend and XCP to libxenlight to remove code
duplication and make it easier for xen and kernel developers to add new
features to the toolstacks.
The xl tool is going to be the main testing tool for libxenlight and is
going to provide a command line interface 99% compatible with xm; once
libxenlight is complete and robust we would like people that currently
use xend, especially developers, to try out xl.
Even though xend will be ported to libxenlight, xl is going to be
smaller and well tested, therefore we encourage people that don't need
advanced xend features, like managed domains or the XML RPC interface,
to use xl.
