  | I've never actually tested 4.15, but for me 4.13 is still the only
  | stable version of Xen I can run on some hardware.

I'm still running 4.2 (4.2.5 I think it is) - it has been stable and
working just fine for more than a decade now, and I see no reason to
change it (though the host it is running on is aging, and due to enter
retirement the next time it needs surgery ... and since its sole active
DomU is munnari, the replacement will just run munnari on bare metal).

And yes, again, this has nothing whatever to do with what should be
in pkgsrc, the packages on that system are mostly of a similar vintage
(more than a decade old).   Its userland is 6.99.something - though it did
eventually get upgraded to a -8 kernel.

ps: I bet whoever it was who asked why port-xen was empty is really happy
now all this fluff is flying around.
