Xen is the hypervisor... Amazon's EC2 is far, far more than simple domUs
on a pile of dom0s, obviously. I should hope that fact is self-evident.
What makes Amazon what they are is their management infrastructure and
user-facing tools, which have nothing really to do with Xen at all.

I don't think a disclaimer is needed, personally, but clarification
never hurts.
