Okay, it is obvious that we need a kernel which can run on Xen domU for our servers. It would also be very convenient for those running Arch on hosting services that have pv-grub available.
What about dumping Xen in favor of KVM and move libvirt and virt-manager to extra?
KVM needs hardware support, while Xen is a para-virtualization environment and doesn't need any special hardware. I don't know about libvirt and what is is. However, Xen works just great (and is deployed by many commercial hosters) and the main Arch servers have relied on it for over 2 months. Xen is very stable and well-tested, I doubt you can say the last on other para-virtualization environments.
