I would agree.  This feature is not baked yet.

There are some issues outstanding stability issues (reported crashes on
list), some known limitations (L1 running in shadow mode) which could do
with some toolstack interlocks to prevent, and some performance concerns
(no ability to use PV drivers from L1 to L0, meaning all disk and
network is emulated in L0 Qemu).
