Crispin, I know that its effectivly Novell running this mailing list but
you _will_ - as far as I learned this mailing list over the years -
loose some experienced security specialists in this list if you should
transform it into a product propagation platform...

From my point of view Novell is nonetheless already on the way to
destroy SuSE linux like CBM was in the end on its way to destroy the
Amiga platform (maybe faster than Novell will do its job).

While we generally speak over XEN you also didn't mention that both of
your points may likely loose substance if you run XEN on a VMS capable
processor.

Last but not least you managed it to emit your mail without reference
headers to chain the ML mails in the thread ("In-Reply-To",
"References"). This is bad practise and IMHO not worth a technician or
worth a company like Novell/SuSE (choose the matching depending on where
the error happened).
