Great news!

It might be worth growing meta-xen into a meta-virtualisation layer
since kvm, openstack and xen all seem to be sharing a lot of pieces.
This depends on the maintainers but it would seem to be logical rather
than many small interdependent layers.

The Yocto Project has been using the Yocto list for that and
OpenEmbedded has openembedded-devel. Its not expected for everything to
end up in OE-Core, quite the opposite.
