The policy hasn't changed since we originally removed Xen. The Xen
userspace continues to be distributed, and Fedora can run as a Xen
guest. The Xen dom0 host kernel will be considered for re-introduction
once it is merged in the mainline upstream kernel trees. The latter
is still actively being pursued by the Xen community & developers
but there's no firm ETA since LKML can be somewhat unpredictable :-)

Daniel
