I've been working on the virtualization release notes[1] for

these past several days, and I'm looking for input from those in the
know. The advances coming out of the Emerging Technologies projects and
Fedora in general are very impressive, and I'd like to do them justice.
Very good summary of changes.
I'm sure there will be a lot questions about (missing) dom0 support, so
maybe add even more information about it.
Xensource plans to have pv_ops dom0 support ready for Xen 3.4, so maybe add
that information. http://www.xen.org/download/roadmap.html
I think (at least earlier) the plan was to submit pv_ops dom0 patches for
inclusion in Linux kernel 2.6.28. I'm not sure if that is still the plan.
pv_ops/dom0 patch queue:

I've attempted to describe the improvements to virtualization-related
packages between the F9 release versions and the anticipated F10
versions. I've created a table[3] of those versions to help with the
comparison. I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know:
The table is really nice and gives nice overview of the changes made.
* if you believe a version bump is pending
* if I've left out any packages or features
* if I included something not noteworthy
* anything else you have to say
If you have any comments, contributions, or criticisms at all, please
add them to the wiki article/talk page/or email them to me.
