They're also in Fedora 11.

1) you can still compile your own custom dom0 kernel (or get the kernel rpm from
somewhere else)

2) Having the hypervisor and tools available helps people to _test_ and
debug the upcoming pv_ops dom0 kernel easily

3) Fedora will add dom0 support back when it's available in upstream
kernel.org kernel, so the hypervisor and tools are ready for that
