Yes. > What about the new domain builder, domU kexec and 32-on-64? I don't think domU kexec or 32-on-64 will make it. Maybe some of the domain builder patches could: Emmanuel's been looking those so perhaps he has an opinion on it, but really I don't see us taking the wholesale rewrite for 3.0.4. After all, the primary benefit is when it's coupled with the 32-on-64 patches which are very unlikely to be in 3.0.4. However, the advantage of more regular releases is that 3.0.5 won't actually be that far out. We hope to release that by early March. -- Keir > cheers, > Gerd
