Emre, As you may already know, I still use the config files in /etc/xen and don’t mess with the virsh stuff. It all certainly worked fine in F7, and though I haven’t fully tested, it appears that it all works fine in F8 as well. I use them for one, because I learned with them, and for two, because in the little time I have spent messing with the gui tools, I haven't found near as much control. That isn't to say that more can be done with the old way, but instead to say that I can do more with the old way. I don’t know if there are any plans to deprecate that stuff, but I hope that if there ever are, news makes the list before I end up on a version where I have no clue how to do anything!

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.
