Thank you for this very informative description.
Is it clear yet what kernel releases are slated for 3.0.4-2 and
3.0.5, and what the timeframe might be on those releases?

Could someone explain the source branches of the Mercurial

-unstable is the development for whatever the next major release
is. Right
now thats 3.0.5.
-testing incorporates the most recent major release + fixes.
Occasionally,
once the fixes have accumulated, the state of this tree is tagged
as a new
bugfix release.
I'd like to understand this in general, but I also have two specific
questions:
1) Which branch is headed toward 3.05, for instance?
2) What is intended for unstable?
Right now unstable is going to be 3.0.5. Once that's released, -
unstable will
continue to develop and become 3.0.6, etc.
The version numbers vaguely follow the Linux scheme, so for w.x.y-z
changes
in "z" indicate bug fixes, changes in y indicate new features,
changes in x
mean *bigger* new features. Changes in w have (so far) been used
to indicate
non-backwards-compatible changes in the guest<->Xen API
Cheers,
Mark
