When the upstream distribution provides it. I am not sure if it is on
their roadmap. Of course, you could also use Xen 3.2 from XenSource,
but that's not supported here.

Take care,

I was at a recent Linux convention and it seemed very likely that Xen is no longer Redhat's priority at all and would love to put KVM in it's place. The Redhat rep was very adamant about KVMs superiority over Xen and the amount of unnecessary work to integrate Xen into their kernels. Some day when KVM will actually do what Xen does (and do it reliably!) Xen may not be an easy option.

So are you saying we should start looking at using KVM instead? I've never seen it, nor used it, so how much different is it from XEN?
