[Openstack-devel] XCP storage repository for OpenStack?

Looking in this document, it mentions that XCP should be configured to
use `EXT' rather than LVM for the storage repository:

http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/install/apt/openstack-install-guide-apt-trunk.pdf

However, looking at xen-api.git/debian/README.Debian, I notice this at
the beginning:

"This is the XCP toolstack ported to Debian. Installing these packages
will turn
a Debian system into an XCP virtualization host. While we aim to be
functionally equivalent to a standard XCP system, not all features are
currently ported to Debian. Noteably, block-based storage repositories have
been disabled.

The comment about `block-based' storage repositories is still true?  Is
this a reference to the `EXT' SR required for OpenStack?
