In any case, the question of whether KVM or Xen is best, is not really
relevant to whether Xen Dom0 has a place in F15. Fedora will welcome any 
software that meets the packaging & licensing guidelines, and has someone
who is willing to maintain it. So if people want to maintain Xen as an
alternative virtualization option in Fedora, they're welcome todo so.
KVM will of course remain the default virt host setup offered in the 
installer
