Hello
this would increase the complexity of kernel building and maintenance for FC4 and beyond.
Why? Its just an other rpm packages which provides the kernel 2.4.29. The xen distro contributes the packages for it. Just a new spec and a new srpm. Should take (I'm not yet a specialist for building rpms for xen) around a half hour to create the package.

No, what I ment, is that the xen distro from camebridge brings patches for kernel 2.9.10xenU and 2.4.29xenU. Shouldn't these are be part of FC4? Not only the 2.6 kernels.
In many cases there are complex installations on Redhat 8 or 9 which should be integratedable into a server consolidation.
Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. But as desirable as that sounds, I strongly suspect that this would increase the complexity of kernel building and maintenance for FC4 and beyond. If there's much demand for it, it could be picked up by one of the alternative repositories (some of them, if I'm not mistaken, collectively known as rpmforge, now).
