mainly, the over-use of python where C would do, with the concomitant
mess of weird errors and untraceable failures. The xenstore was also a
disaster, a half-way file system that never quite worked to this day.
Add in XML-RPC, in python yet, and you have a gooey stew of obscure
and hard to fix errors.
We did a small distro with xen, and were glad to move to lguest
instead. Much, much easier.
Kind of sad, as I actually really like the Xen guys, but things just
didn't go very well after v2.
