As I understand it, 2.6.39uek = 3.0.16. The versioning is for their tool compatibility, even though it should be 2.6.40.16 under the commonly accepted versioning for 2.6.x IIRC. And allegedly Xen went upstream early in 3.x. Was it 3.0.3? Or was that 3.3? In any case, if you're looking for features, why don't you consider Fedora? If you're cycling updates in every year or quicker, which sounds like the case, it makes far more sense. Fedora is quite stable, but just rebases far more, instead of backporting. If it's just a virtualization platform, and not a run-time platform for applications, it completely makes far more sense to consider Fedora if you're focused on features. They already do the integration testing for you. Xen dom0 was added back to Fedora as of Fedora 16.
