The downside to this method is that RHEL 5 sticks you with RHCS 2. I 
know there is ongoing work to reintroduce dom0 into F15, though it may 
not be until F16, depending on how quickly some patches can be oushed 
into the mainline kernel. Give that, the question might be better asked as:

When Fedora re-introduces Xen dom0, could it be added to EPEL?
