XCP will go away and users will be upgrading to XenServer 6.2. http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2013/06/25/xenserver-org-and-the-xen-project/ I have not yet tested XenServer 6.2 to see if it resolves the "unable-to-boot-with-cdrom-on-FreeBSD-guest" bug yet, but I've heard the upgrade path will definitely require you jump from XCP 1.6 to XenServer 6.2, so anyone stuck on XCP 1.5beta will have to remove their virtual cdrom drives before attempting the upgrade process. Also, it looks like XenCenter is being released under a BSD-like license. Hopefully someone gets this ported to *nix soon http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2013/06/25/xenserver-org-and-the-xen-project/
