The Xen Project does large of testing of Xen before updates and
releases; and I do a basic amount of smoke-testing before sending an
update.  But I don't really have the resources or the ability to do
the kind of extensive testing which would allow me to recommend
automatically pulling updates without testing them first, nor do I
envision any SIG ever having that amount of resource.  If that's the
kind of support you want, you might want to consider paying for either
XenServer or SLES. :-)
