am i right with the info that Amazon "disabled" Xen / changed to another 
virtualization technology (kvm type or so) what leaded NetBSD XEN_DOMUs to 
not working further? Or did they "just planned "it or "still planning"?

The Amazon + Xen docs as "rumors" are a bit confusing in that regard:
https://xenresources.com/does-aws-use-xen-hypervisor/

and i remember that situation where Amazon announced a "forced reboot" which 
would kill running NetBSD instances ("would not boot any longer") in regard 
of Xen. This would mean the docs would be "outdated" (at least in regard of 
the NetBSD build arch / flavour) or "incomplete".

Has anyone some clearification thereof? Is Amazon "offering" Xen (PV/HVM/PVHVM) 
as KVM ("full virt") in parallel (would require "two build types" then).


many thanks for any hard hint,
best regards,


niels.
