Red Hat can't drop Xen completely because RHEL5 will be supported
until 2014.  I can see Xen getting dropped in favor of KVM in RHEL 6+.
 You already can't use Fedora 9 as a Xen host (you can still use it as
a guest) because the Red Hat developers got tired of forward-porting
the Xen code every time Linus releases a new kernel.

unfairness of the universe."
