OK, experts .. lets discuss !!!
A couple of minor suggestions gathered when installing CentOS:
* The ipxe package "obsoletes" the gpxe package. However, it doesn't actually supply all the necessary dependencies. qemu-kvm depends on the gpxe binary. The result is that you can't have both a Xen system and a KVM system installed at the same time unless you manually download gpxe (or ipxe, if you've installed KVM first) and install it with --force. This may discourage people with existing KVM systems from experimenting with Xen. Since the two don't overlap, ipxe shouldn't be listed as obsoleting gpxe.
* With the default install, Linux is configured to use the serial port, but Xen isn't. I think ideally Xen would use the serial port, and Linux running under Xen should use hvc0.
