Uhm.. I don't believe this. Where did you read that?
Citrix XenServer was opensourced last week, or the hypervisor+tools part, the xencenter management interface remains closed source (but it can also manage hyper-v).
IMHO, it isn't a good option to maintain domO virt servers based on CentOS or RHEL now ... It is the time to migrate to another solutions ...
RHEL5, with Xen, will be fully supported by Redhat until 2014. They have clearly stated that many times.

Ok, I think I haven't explained well, sorry. Citrix Xenserver's hypervisor and tools was donated by Citrix last week, correct. But Citrix didn't release more versions of the product because it does not intend to develop it and apply new features. Citrix virtualization bussiness will be focused only on Management and Desktop virtualization using Hper-V as a first platform and second VMware.
Where did you read this? You write it like it's a fact - I haven't seen that anywhere.. ??
This will be announced over next weeks ...
And correct, RHEL5 Xen will be supported till 2014, but did you use a technology that upstream doesn't put the necessary resources to mantain and apply new features??
RedHat virtaulziation efforts are focused at 99% on KVM solutions, for Xen only applies security updates and nothing else.
That's not true. Upcoming RHEL 5.5 will have Xen-related bugfixes as usual.

Bugfixes and security updates only, but what about new features like XCI, RAS fetures, etc?? Do you really think they are going to be ported by RedHat on his xen?? I think not.
