The kernel-xen package is a quick hack to get xen possibly working for Test1. We still want to get it working in our main kernel, but ran out of runway for test1. It is not going to stay around for long, nor should any kmods be built against it or any policy around it. We were only caring about the output, to get a kernel-xen variant. Please don't see this as a policy, just a quick hack for test1. I may even untag it for rawhide after test1, undecided yet. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
