Nothing should happen when the clock gets to zero -- try setting the system 
date to next year and see what happens. In particular, check that you can still 
start VMs.

The 0.1 version of XCP still had a line of code which said, "if the clock gets 
to zero refuse to start VMs". I removed this line in 0.1.1.

I realize that it's a bit ugly that some of the unused mechanism is still 
present. Some of the mechanism like per-feature on/off switches could probably 
be converted into a system for enabling/disabling experimental features. The 
idea being that, supported released versions would have a supported core 
featureset but you would be able to turn on advanced experimental stuff if you 
knew what you were doing.

Cheers,
Dave
