I keep forgetting to update it.  I think of it as a deprecated branch 
I'd like to get rid of, since the name is too vague.  In principle the 
name could be better used for something like "bleeding edge head", but I 
think changing its meaning like that would be way too much trouble, so 
just dropping it after migrating everything away from it is probably the 
best thing to do.
In the meantime, I'll make it the same as xen/stable-2.6.31.x, since 
that's more or less what it means.  (Likewise, xen/stable is tracking 
xen/stable-2.6.32.x at the moment).
I've also just started putting together a (pre-rc)2.6.36-based dom0 
branch which will become the development focus soon (leaving 2.6.32 
still supported but with backported changes, rather than the current 
flow of developing in .32 then forward-porting).
