Hello Alex,

Red Hat dropped the Xen support because of the fact that they are support primary KVM. They are doing this because of a few facts:

1. The most of development on virtualization Red Hat is doing on KVM
2. The design of KVM requires hardware support but is much easier as the design of Xen
3. The code base is much smaller I think.
4. KVM was very early merged to mainline kernel, Xen now also is merged to mainline kernel but in the time where Red Hat dropped Xen only KVM was in mainline kernel.

These are facts were some discussion can be done but I think they are comprehendable.

Best Regards
