You'll need to ask Dan Berrange to be certain, but I'm pretty sure the plan is to have a dom0 kernel ready some time during the lifetime of F9. The reason we don't have an F9 dom0 kernel right now is because there *isn't one*. Ask XenSource to provide something more recent than > 2 year old Linux 2.6.18 support!
