That Red Hat has a new kvm-based virtualization offering called oVirt. :)

Since xen was in RHEL5.0, xen will be fully supported until RHEL5.x goes 
end-of-life. I'm not privy to any information with respect to kvm showing up 
in RHEL5 or not (and probably couldn't talk about them if I was -- 
forward-looking statements and all that).

Assuming said people were speaking in an official capacity, they probably know 
better than I do what the plans are. Xen is definitely here to stay in 
RHEL5.x, but that certainly doesn't mean kvm couldn't also show up in RHEL5.x 
at some point.
