since we have rolled out over 50 dom0 with etch, we are really interested into 
having xen dom0 support in lenny. Are there any further decisions made? We 
choosed debian, cause we thought that Xen support won't be droped in the next 
stable release and there is no influence by commercial interests into this.

Thanks for your work and please keep me (and all the others, that seems 
interested by looking into this thread) updated.

With kind regards, Jan.
