Good question :-) Certainly not until summer, then I'll see.

Also, I do not understand what exactly were you trying to tell: that there
is a general lack of manpower, or that maintaining two separate ports has
noticeably more overhead that having one for both versions of Xen? If it
was the latter, I didn't know that. If the former, then maybe the best
thing would be to abandon xen12 support completely when xen20 support is
ready to further reduce maintenance cost - will anybody care about Xen1.2
when NetBSD 3.0 is released?
