[Pkg-xen-devel] Removing the kernel patch

As a release manager asked us to do that, we should remove the kernel patch from
the packaging...  As I said I'm not completely against removing it, if we
distribute it on our website and point people to it in some documentation! The
internet is just there, so what would the matter be?

If nobody is against this course of action I'm going to move the patch outside
of the debian directory, remove the linux-patch-xen, publish it on alioth
(assuming I have sufficient privileges to do so... otherwise ask Jeremy to do it
or to give us sufficient privileges) and update the relevant documentation.

On the other hand if someone is opposed to this course of action we can
postpone/avoid it if you can convince the RM team... I think it's unwise to go
ahead against their opinion and without convincing them, if we want to be good
citizens, have a possibility to ship xen before etch+230, maybe need any hint or
other eases with freezes and so on at any point, etc!)

As usual... ideas? suggestions? thoughts? rants?

Guido
