In my case, I can think of various reasons : * I already have puppet modules, classes and definitions to manage Xen dom0 servers and all of their domU configurations. * I already have puppet modules using stored configurations to automatically enable nagios monitoring for all servers and transparently set a whole bunch of Xen specific details : dom0 as the parent node, dom0 monitoring of which Xen domUs are running, domU facts about their dom0, etc. * All of my internal documentation about Xen is complete, clean and fully updated. Ready to be followed. Given the above, switching to anything other than Xen will require a significant amount of work in order to get to the same level. I'm not saying it won't happen... but I do plan to stick with RHEL5 dom0s for a while instead of jumping onto the KVM bandwagon :-) RHEL6 dom0s would be another interesting option, though I would definitely feel more comfortable sticking with RHEL5 and Xen 3, which I know inside out.
