Sounds reasonable. The 2.6.18 tree is getting a bit dated now. One question: How complete is the XCI tree with respect to the various Xen related features having been added to the 2.6.18 tree over time? Is it all in there? eSk [Keir Fraser] > Folks, > With 3.4 out the door it is time to revisit the state of our Linux > repositories.
