(✔) I think this sort of enforcement is unreasonable and is harming the

Honestly, this latest example just epitomises the reason I've dedicated
the last two years of my life to hosting Xen guests on something
*other* than Xen itself.

I *want* to contribute, to help make Xen better. We have code we'd love
to give back. I'd love to see Xen upstream supporting live update and
guest transparent live migration (oops, even that term got gratuitously
bikeshedded, didn't it?)

But I cannot, and will not, subject my engineers to this.

I've even got long-time Xen contributors on my team saying that they're
done with it. I certainly can't ask junior engineers to operate in this
environment.

I don't say this to be combative. I genuinely want the Xen community to
improve and to become as welcoming and productive as it can be.

Perhaps we do need a TAB to help keep things working smoothly, and help
stamp out the problematic behaviour? This isn't healthy.
