Apologies, it was a mistake to suggest that "deprecating" would be 
enough to remove from the README. This was actually against my initial

"IMHO, the README is not only here to explain the required softwares for 
the latest distribution. It is also here to explain all the dependencies 
regardless whether Xen can be barely run or not..."
