[Xen-tools] Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH][RFC] xenstat framework and vm-top

First of all, I agree that we don't want to support yet another API.
Do we have a policy on compatibility in the tools? The Xen / backends ABI is
obviously sacred but is userspace control plane stuff also included...?
I'll put in my vote that the userspace library API should be held to the
same standards as the hypervisor ABI.
In reality, there won't be more than a dozen guest ports to Xen (for 3.0
at least). There will likely be dozens of tools written that use the
userspace API though.
I think libxenstat might as well be kept as a base for this work... IMHO, it
should at least stay separate in the source for now. vm-top / xentop could
be statically linked with it for now, OR it could be stashed
under /usr/lib/xen/lib, depending on ABI issues.
I'd be happier linking against it statically. I really like having
simple code though. What does everyone else think?

Anthony Liguori
