You didn't mention that. "lagging" a few months indeed, while merging
stuff.  And because xen 4.0 is about to be released, but it will
probably catch up soon. Anyway that's not a reason for not using it, I
guess the build failures can be fixed more easily than redoing Ian's
work.

Sure, that's why Ian was quite harsh on the modifications to the qemu
code, and these are quite small now (I'm talking about the Xen-specific
things, non-Xen-specific will be pushed upstream), so that shouldn't be
a problem any more.
