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!

_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,
Gaston
