_The Fedora team has followed the Xensource model and begun to store
all VM configuration details in a database, referred to as xenstore._

OK, I didn't know that. However, I find this xenstore thing a bit complicated.

Then, you might be right. I interpreted it was a modification from
Xen, not from Fedora (previously introduced by Xensource). 

So, what is the advantage behind this movement?

I think it's managegability.

Thanks,
