Sure, I understand the support until 2014...was more thinking of moving to 6 and beyond...People focus on this a lot but really you might have 1 machine that needs Dom0 support and 50 that need DomU support. The majority of Virtual Machines will need DomU support which will be included indefinitely.
Yep. I believe RHEL5 Xen will be able to run RHEL6 Xen PV guests.
Dom0 support is already becoming a pain but either that will be fixed by a) Xen Dom0 getting into the mainline kernel b) someone create a stripped down Dom0 OS just for the hypervisor. Effectively this is what XCP is doing I think.
Yeah, XCP is the lately opensourced full CentOS-based distribution that is used in the commercial Citrix XenServer.. It has Xen hypervisor, dom0 kernel, new Xen management toolstack (xapi/xe) etc.
And most importantly it's tested as a whole.
