release notes virt passage seems overly pessimistic

[Robert P. J. Day]

  reading here:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f12/en-US/html/sect-Release_N...

down at the bottom:

"KVM requires hardware virtualization features in the host system.

Systems lacking hardware virtualization do not support Xen guests at
this time."

  if one is new to virt, that could be read as, "without HW virt,
you're pretty much screwed."  or could that be worded a bit
differently?

I believe the answer is yes.
