Even if everything progresses smoothly with the new XML-RPC protocol for XenD, realistically it is going to be 2-3 months into the future before its anywhere near ready for use by libvirt, and even then there'll be a non-trivial existing userbase still on the SEXPR based XenD for quite a while after that.
