XenServer 6.5 (or 7.0) is not released yet. You can download alpha of next release and try it, but it is definately not for production. I haven't personally tried it because Cloudstack does not support RBD storage type for XenServer yet. So you are absolutely right -- first we need to wait for XenServer to release then we need to wait for Cloudstack to implement those changes at backend.
I have used Ceph with KVM hypervisor for a short while. There were some points that I was not aware, but in general it worked well.

HI Vadim, thanks for info. That is what I understood = but the new XenServer 6.5 or whatever the name, shoudl be using kernel 3.10.x for dom0, so I guess even after that is supported, we will need to wait some time for the CloudStack implementation on this ?
