I really think there are good enough "brains" working on them! :-) What I wanted to know here is whether or not there already are plans to include the xen binaries in that signing game, so that Fedora users can still `yum install xen -- reboot --start playing' as it is happening now, and, more important, if that is not the case what we can do to help this. Is the fact that Fedora release guidelines include Xen _guest_ support but not full _host_ functionalities going to be an issue if/when we decide to try influencing this http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SecureBoot ?
