I have amended the post to match the comments above. Regarding the "petulant" comment: my apologies if it came off that way, but the statement was factual. I have edited it anyway. However, we need to be aware of a real problem: The majority of people have no idea why the Xen Project Hypervisor is not in RHEL 6. As a rule, I find that most people assume some package has been dropped from a distribution because (1) it is non-functional or otherwise problematic or (2) it has been superseded by a clearly superior package. When we refuse to mention the fact that Red Hat made a business decision, we are inadvertently feeding the inaccurate notion that Xen Project software is either non-functional or clearly inferior. As such, I never shy away from the subject, but I never demean Red Hat either. I state the fact and go on.
