To this, I'd like to add that the fact XenAPI was removed from Debian
(and Ubuntu) due to the lack of support upstream (or because their last
version missed the freeze of Jessie and the last LTS, if you prefer...)
doesn't help at all. Maybe if they come back with a new Xen-Core that
can be packaged, then there will be more Xen users.

Has Xen support in libvirt improved? I thought it was still not able to
compete with KVM (yet).

Are you sure what the blog says is enough to have *all* of the
install-guide howto working? It'd be great if it was.
