I can see other uses for Xen - scale out, test, consolidation. Right now though - I think the SELinux with RHEL and for some part AppArmor with SLES are what set the "enterprise Linux"s apart from the community ones. I took unfair aim at Ubuntu in my post b/c really most of the 'community' distros that are not based on RHEL/SLES seem to have largely ignored SELinux and AppArmor. For instance, why is SELinux an 'alternative' type install for Gentoo. WIth Gentoo it's all build from scratch, but SELinux isn't a part of the default handbook - it's optional. +1 – Why do you need Xen at all when you can isolate your applications in their own sandbox – similar to a linux-vserver/OpenVZ container almost.
