Thanks for the retransmit -- I was intending to reply to the original message 
but forgot.

I think the sentiment was, "everyone please try it in your environment and give 
us some feedback". As you say, there's lots of explicit testing going on so 
we're confident it's great. However there's always the slim possibility that a 
problem surfaces in some obscure environment-- so the more end-user testing it 
gets the better.

Note that XCP 0.5 (should be in RC form RSN) will have a refreshed openvswitch 
so that should be even better than the older snapshot in XCP 0.1.1.

That would be interesting. As far as networking goes, XenServer uses the same 
code as XCP so the test results should carry over nicely.

Cheers,
Dave
