Citrix (with a helping hand from Rackspace) are working with Dan to
get SmokeStack testing XenAPI again.
There are also people working on getting something that will be useful
to gate trunk, ideally running a setup very similar to what we have in
production at Rackspace (i.e. with cells).
While it might be cool to count sizes of production deployments and
levels of functionality, I think testing is a useful non-subjective
and open measure.
