Hmm, I'm not sure if skipping 4.3 is a good idea.. 

I believe the following distros/products are (or will be) shipping Xen 4.3:

- Next version of XenServer
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
- Fedora 20
- OpenSuse 13.1

It's obviously easier to live, troubleshoot and apply/backport important fixes 
when there are multiple parties doing it for the same(ish) codebase and sharing experiences :)
