Xen wont be in RHEL6 - KVM will

What insight can be offered on this change?  Is this a business or
technical or both decision?


From what I have heard of people who actually know a bit about virtualization and kernel-design, it probably wasn't a hard decision on the technical side.

Business... well, Citrix owns it now, more or less. That itself probably was enough to send it to the bin.
Everybody is running their favorite fork of it anyway.





libvirt handles both so fundamentally it makes no difference as to what the
virtualization technology is as the way its managed will not change

I would image there has to be a conversion, for instance the format of
the disk image, or the way that networking is setup?


They have some years to figure it out.
