Chun Yan Liu was working on a patch to implement migration in the libvirt libxl

maternity leave.  She recently returned to work and I'd expect a refreshed patch
soon - after working through her backlog.

But why is libvirt integration listed as a Xen 4.3 feature?  AFAIK, all of this
work is in libvirt and really doesn't have much to do with the release of 4.3.
For one, as Ian said, we want xl/libxl to be the default toolstack in 4.3; as soon as possible we want to remove xend.

But from a broader perspective, the idea is for the Xen.org community to be thinking strategically about the success of the Xen project as a whole. Things like distro support and libvirt integration are absolutely critical to Xen's success in the open-source ecosystem. So while we don't have to do everything ourselves, we want to think about what things need to be done, track them to make sure that *someone* does them; and be prepared to pick them up ourselves if necessary. And it just makes more sense to track everything on one list.

Does that make sense?
