Today I've added a 2nd kernel to our svn called "kernel26-lts". It

is to

1) have a 2nd choice for the kernel pkg that suits better in

certain situations and

2) it can be a fallback when a reboot after updating the core
"kernel26" fails

Having a stable unpatched kernel is definately a Good Thing. The constant 
kernel changes and the associated lava-pants was getting a real nuisance on my 
Arch servers.

I wouldn't bother including Xen though, IMO it's on its last legs since Red Hat 
took KVM under their wings. KVM is definately the way to go.
