Funny - from what I've seen on IRC scottl has had quite a bit of trouble getting it running (saying up to what 6am trying to get it working) and then having to ask you personally questions on why he couldn't get it working. It also seems from what I've seen much work is still ahead. That reality really is you have a cool technology demo - but as DES says - Xen is not supported. Can I file PRs against Xen and expect to have the reported problem fixed? I do like what you're doing - I really do. But I think its a disservice to users to create an expectation that a mer mortal can get it up and running from the bits in Perforce without a lot of effort. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
