I believe the Fedora folks forward-port the Xen patches to newer kernels, so 
this doesn't necessarily indicate that the mainline Xen tree will be moving 
to this kernel version.

Not sure.  A few interesting things are currently in progress with respect to 
kernel versions; the Xen paravirt-ops patches may be going into the next 
release mainline Linux (maybe?  I think?) at which point you'll be able to 
build domU kernels directly from kernel.org sources.

Secondly we're going to move away from the sparse tree layout (yay) and 
towards having a separate repository for the XenLinux tree.

Cheers,
Mark
