Fedora 8 is for now the latest Fedora distribution with a Xen dom0 :

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9/en_US/sn-Virtualization.html
(20.1 Kernel Integration Improvements : "Xen Dom0 support will be added
back in Fedora 10")
The relevant F10 release notes are also in progress here:

Dom0 will not be there at release time:

Some Fedora users lack HVM extensions in hardware and are stuck with Xen
and F8 for now. I think putting new releases in F8-test-only seems like
a nice conservative compromise.
I was hoping libvirt 0.4.6 would fix the issue of virsh losing track of
domUs until xend is restarted, but after installing the test build on my
F8 dom0 I found that wasn't the case.

People can post their experiences with a build in Bodhi.
