Which is why I originally wrote...
"*Some* are interpreting this... as an indication that xen will be
dropped from RHEL6 as they direct their efforts towards KVM."
*If* xen is not included in RHEL6 then it will, by definition, be
deprecated in favour of KVM irrespective of whether (or not) RH
continues to support it throughout the life of RHEL5. Note that xen
was dropped (not deprecated, dropped) in Fedora 10, read into that
what you will :)
So xen isn't technically deprecated yet, but if I were a betting man,
I wouldn't be putting all my eggs in a virtualized xen basket.
Some might choose to call that FUD, and that's their prerogative. In a
way they're right as Red Hat's statement on xen does contain elements
of uncertainty and doubt as they have not committed to continued
ongoing support of xen past the current RHEL5 product lifecycle, and
that may make some fearful for it's long term future within the Red
Hat landscape.
Xen wont be in RHEL6 - KVM will
libvirt handles both so fundamentally it makes no difference as to what
the virtualization technology is as the way its managed will not change
