So the question is,
Is there any particular reason that RHEL 5.2 did not upgrade Xen user space
tools/libs. Novell SLES/SLED 10 SP2 and Oracle VM 2.1.x have upgraded the
user space libs for remote management of Xen infrastructure.
Novell does not provide the same user ABI/API stability guarentees that
we do in RHEL. The change from Xen 3.0.x series to Xen 3.1.0 changes a
number of user facing APIs / changes semantics of existing commands. This
is not acceptable to drop into a minor update of RHEL because it can cause
functional regressions for people deploying tools built on Xen.
