For xenkernel3 (3.1), there is the PCI passthrough issue. Does anybody care about PCI passthrough enough to still run NetBSD and xenkernel3? Is there any support or hope of support in newer Xen?

So I think we have rough consensus that we will remove 41 and keep 42. Manuel isn't going to maintain 42, and I think John is semivolunteering. There is the issue about i386 dom0 if we drop 42. But I'm guessing zero actual people care. > } sysutils/xenkernel45 > } sysutils/xentools45 > > However, as noted earlier, I object to removing these.

Could you post a link to the issues with Ubuntu and 4.6, or add it to the HOWTO? (I believe you of course, but it would be nice to have a consolidated record to help new people.) So again we have rough consensus to keep 45, which Manuel will not maintain, and John will be semi-volunteering for.
