Interesting, Sean!

FreeBSD has certain things that would make it attractive as a dom0 - 
MAC, GEOM, ZFS, among others.

The amd64 PV port is also interesting by itself. I for one have always 
noticed dramatic performance losses when running HVM+PV, which has made 
me shy away from FreeBSD recently, as 95% of the stuff I admin is 
virtualized these days.


Anyway -  it's a good move on behalf of the project, I think Xen is here 
to stay, and good support for it is essential for the future!

Hugo
