speaking from a kernel POV, Konrad and Jeremy have certainly been very
responsive to xen related kernel problems that have been reported in recent
times, so we could probably turn around any not-upstream-yet fixes that need
including pretty quickly.  How it impacts other the other teams you mention
is a harder question tbh.

But if the choice is users choosing Xen, over say VirtualBox, I'm all for it.
