In which specific areas is XSM lacking in Functional completeness, Functional stability and/or Interface stability, resulting in "Experimental" status?  What changes to XSM would be needed for it to qualify for "Supported" status?

I think the issue in this case may be lack of automated testing or known testing - see https://www.mail-archive.com/xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg123768.html  
I am not quite sure what the status of XSM testing in OSSTEST is: I think there is something there, but not sure what. 

If there will be no security support for features in Experimental status, would Xen Project accept patches to fix XSM security issues?  Could downstream projects issue CVEs for XSM security issues, if these will not be issued by Xen Project?

This question I have to defer to members of the security team.
