I 100% agree with you here. I'm using Xen 3.4.3 and CenOS's 2.6.18 and 
it has been really rock solid!
I've had a couple of crashes when trying to remove an LVM LV, but I 
figured that by doing "lvchange -an /dev/vg0/lvname" first before 
"lvremove /dev/vg0/lvname" instead of doing just the latter seems to 
keep it stable. Not even sure if that's a Xen issue..

Hmm may not try it then. I shall wait a few months until there is a 
"clear winner" in the community for 4.x (Which I believe is CentOS for 
the 3.x builds).
