Well, he certainly didn't answer the question there. But a bit later, he
talks a little about the open-source Xen hypervisor, without saying
anything exactly negative, but also in the past tense. His remarks about
Xen being the provider of tools for using Xen, without any mention of
continued work on the hypervisor -- for any platform -- are strange, IMHO.

A quick search at RedHat.com didn't come up with any press releases
related to this. Gotta wonder if they're just waiting for the other shoe
to drop.

Kinda puts one in mind of kvm, doesn't it?
