It's not a huge amount, but it is definitely time that I (and my
employer) would prefer to spend on other things.

As I've said elsewhere, this is a community project -- so if someone
wants to step up and maintain Xen 4.4 for CentOS 6, they are welcome.
I do agree that it shouldn't be a huge amount of work for someone to
pick this up, now that I've got the basic setup.  (And I'll definitely
still be around to help.)

If someone wanted to step up and maintain the 4.4 xen packages, I'd be
happy to hand that off, and just have xen46 for C6 and xen (v 4.6) for
C7.
