Hi, the Xen 3.1 release includes patches for 2.6.18, right? So until now, many users have been complaining about Xen being based on 2.6.16.x. But as far as i could see, 2.6.16.x was still maintained. New version were released on kernel.org, including new security fixes etc. Now you guys moved on to 2.6.18. I think, it's even plain 2.6.18 - not 2.6.18.8 (which would be newest from 2.6.18-series). So 2.6.18 is from September 2006, 2.6.18.8 is from February 2007. But 2.6.16.52 is from May 30th. So i understand, that i was time to switch to a new kernel version. Users complained about missing hardware drivers, for example. But now - from a security perspective - Xen is based on the unmaintained 2.6.18 series which is a great risk. That's a strange development. Why was/is 2.6.16 still maintained? And is there any chance, that 2.6.18 is maintained again (concerning security issues)? Regards, Sven Attachment:
