Maybe, if we ignore the fact that you seem to be familiar with the 
problem of xenconsoled failing and preventing guests from booting.

Yes, and RHEL5 will be supported for several years.  However, there does 
not appear to be a plan to support Xen in the future, after RHEL5 
expires.  It would be irrational to invest time and money into training 
on Xen with no expectation that those skills will remain valuable in the 
future.
