Well, I would usualy consider Xapi since it's directly related to Xen, 
however, because it is "distro-locked" in such a way that there has to 
be a fork per distro doesn't really seem like the right choice to me. I 
suppose it has to be like that if its just a hack to make XCP work on 
classic distro's? Or am I mistaken?
