I think that makes sense, but does it actually work like that in practice? Existing Xen packages aren't really going to get a newer Xen, so that's out of the picture. What we try to achieve here is to let the users of these old distro able to build newer Xen themselves. But suppose you want to build a new system anyway, why stick with an old distro? Why not use a newer distro release instead?
