And I would prefer not to move our current infrastructure for development to CURRENT. A major portion of our development environment is based on XEN for testing and development. Therefor we realize PVHVM is a work in progress, and we have built some VMs from it, they run exceptionally well, However our build environments refuse to build 9-STABLE on CURRENT PVHVM, or 10-CURRENT. Lastly Im sure theres a ton of users who would like to see this in 9.x or 9-STABLE > > > -- > Craig >
