Comment 61 for bug 146924

I think it could be taken as a general comment prompted by another posting on this thread.
(which is heading for it's first anniversary)

IMHO Xen should be taken out of the Repo's (for now) , Ubuntu's version simply does not work.

People read the press and see "Xen is great, Xen is stable", then install Ubuntu Xen and see critical problems which look for all the world like the may be problems with Xen itself.
[incidentally, this is *not* or certainly has not been the only serious problem with Ubuntu Xen]

Xen does not need this sort of press .. and I'm sure Ubuntu can live without it too.

You're going to say "how will it get fixed if it's not available for people to try?" .. normally I'd agree, however given the speed at which it's being worked on, I really do think it should be taken aside until it can be made to work.

Note; I don't have any connection with Xen or Ubuntu other than being a heavy Xen / Ubuntu user.

I wasted soooo much time trying to make Ubuntu/Xen work after thinking I must be at fault being convinced nothing so buggy would ever get released.

At the *very* least it needs a big warning label saying "do not use in production environment due to known issues" !!
