Agreed. The phrasing made me feel that I didn't want to continue
reading. all that is needed, is ".... ,which does not support the
Xen Project Hypervisor"
* The Virt SIG seems like a bit of
an afterthought: in the "What does the Future Hold" section, I
would start with the development of the Virt SIG, and then
mention our plans (updating every other Xen release, &c).
How about something like this:
The Xen4CentOS is
not a one-time, cut-and-run hack. It is being transitioned into
the newly formed CentOS Virtualization SIG.
This CentOS
SIG will focus on providing a specialized CentOS variant
suitable for various virtualization technologies, including the
Xen Project Hypervisor. The plan
is to provide regular security and bug-fix updates as needed and
to upgrade the Xen Project Hypervisor with every even major
release (4.4, 4.6, etc) and to provide matching updates for QEMU,
libvirt and other dependent packages.
So if you were
thinking about trying Xen Project software on CentOS, there is now
every reason to give it a try.
