No, that is "longterm". Stable is always a branch of the most recent
release from Linus, it seems to be 3.3.7 right now but there will no
doubt be a 3.4.1 quite soon. Sticking with the previous version until
3.4.1 or 3.4.2 might be wise.

I'm assuming here that the primary aim is to test Xen and not
necessarily to test dom0 directly. If one wants to explicitly test dom0
then running Linus' tree (on a known good Xen baseline) seems like the
right answer.

Yongjie didn't express any interest in a particular feature, so my
advice was more general.
