I think these guys are willing to work on it.  I would suggest talking 
to them about it if it's a major concern (sounds like it is to me!)

Sounds fine to me.  But just make sure it's "I don't have the bandwith 
to do this, you're going to have to help me" not "Xen sucks, get it 
out."  Xen _might_ suck because it's not upstream, but I don't think 
that's the problem we're really dealing with here.  Just a guess, though.
