You seem to be putting words in Fedora's mouth and
this is the problem with rumour-mongering. Show us a link
where it says Xen was dropped by Fedora. Fedora works with
upstream and Xen (Dom0 support) was not ready in time for Fedora 10,
but that does not mean it cannot come by way of an update or
Fedora 11 which is expected to be the base of RHEL 6.
You are welcome to join any of the discussions upstream,
rather than spreading FUD or being misinformed.
