Yeah, it's a trade-off.

But consider:

  a) davej is rebasing the stock kernel up to twice daily; it would be a
     huge time sync to try and keep kernel-xen in sync with that pace;

  b) There's relatively little Dom0 work going on a the moment, so 
     there's little chance of having usable Dom0 patches for Fedora 10

  c) It's not inconceivable that we could add work-in-progress Dom0 
     patches to kernel/devel; the bar would be higher than for 
     kernel-xen, though

I sent a bunch of patches to fedora-kernel-list yesterday:
