Can someone tell me or give me a pointer to the status of Xen on FC6

2.6.20.x? I've read about and experienced some serious instability on 2.6.20.x and was wondering when a stable release was expected. All of
the
threads I've read say to use Xen on 2.6.18, but since Xen is not a
critical
requirement for me, I'd like to wait until it comes out on 2.6.20 (or FC7) which ever comes first.
F7 is arriving real soon now and will be Xen 3.1.0 + 2.6.20 kernel. This kernel will fix the 3 core kernel-xen bugs that are being experianced by most people (one 32-bit data corruption issue, 2 SMP bugs).
We're going to apply these same patches to the FC6 kernel-xen which should also resolve the stability issues seen on the FC6 2.6.20 builds. I don't have an exact timeframe for this, but it should be in updates-testing at least fairly soon.
Dan.
