for reasons out of scope here, CentOS 6 has not formally
issued. Thus I must speak of the 'sources that will become'
CentOS 6, as there is no binary CentOS 6 yet
That said, I have been running private rebuilds of '[t]he
sources that will become CentOS 6' at a virtual and colo
hosting facility for which I admin, http://www.pmman.com/
As part of that work (related to KVM hardware minimum
requirements, compatability with certain local libvirt based
tools, and performance of KVM vs. xen), I and other techs have
set up and run 'xen.org virtualization' to power the backend
dom0's
As such, we have working installations that demonstrate that a
person may CHOOSE to fork from CentOS's prospective KVM
virtualization providing mechanism (that is, may choose to
NOT use KVM), and rather one might instead use xen.org based
tools
Yes ... I agree, English can be a unruly language to parse
certain conditional constructs
