There are xen rpms in the testing repos for XSA 207 and 208 in the testing repos (xen-4.4.4-18.el6, xen-4.6.3-7.el6, xen-4.6.3-7.el7).
You can enable the applicable centos-virt-xen-testing repo in your /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Xen.repo file.
Please report positive and negative tests to this list so we can promote the updates to the main repos.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
These updates have now been pushed to mirror.centos.org and you can get them from the main repos.

Given the circumstances, might it make sense to offer formal advisories of some type for these to indicate when the packages going to live are for security or other reasons?

We release xen every 2nd (even numbered) release as a goal (4.4, 4.6, 4.8)
We don't normally release anything other than security updates. This is a SIG that requires community participation .. so far, George Dunlap and I are really the only people contributing.
This is volunteer work for both of us. We could stand some more volunteers.
In any event, the updates we release come from here:
When they release an XSA, we incorporate it and do a new release.
Support for older releases will be done (currently by only me .. volunteers welcome) based on this schedule:
https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Release_Features
So, we will support 4.4 on CentOS-6 until 'March 2017' and 4.6 on CentOS-6 and CentOS-7 until 'Oct 2018 '. When the xen project stops supporting a version, we will also stop supporting it.

What I mean is .. other than the base release in a major version (so the first 4.6 release), the follow on updates all happen as the result of an XSA from the list.
It is certainly possible that we COULD release a bugfix update at some point, but if you look at my git repo:
https://github.com/hughesjr/xen
There is a xen-44 and a xen-46 branch .. you can see all the change and why from there. If you look, almost all of them are for XSAs.
