Okay, first of all, the xen people need some polite "education" because
haveing 'arch/xen' is just a bad idea. What happens if/when xen/x86_64,
or xen/PPC64, or xen/ia64 show up? PPC and PPC64 do just fine with with
and without the IBM hypervisor and everything coexists nicely.

The 'xen' arch is not a new processor, and there is no defensible 
reason I can think of to add another sysname.

Somone asked my why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/)
software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Shultz had the best answer:

"Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems? They do it
because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't. That's why
I draw cartoons. It's my life." -- Charles Shultz
