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.

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.

best regards.
