All bug fixing is going on in the unstable tree: there has been no fork. I'm
now done with major refactorings (domctl/sysctl on Friday; shadow2->shadow
today). I wanted those in before 3.0.3 because, although large, they are
unlikely to break anything, and it is a pain to move patches across branches
after a fork when only one branch has a major code reorg applied to it. I
hope you'll agree that the hypercall refactoring has resulted in a cleaner
interface than the old dom0_ops, and that it is a useful goal to allow the
dom0 kernel and tools interfaces to evolve separately from each other.
