Isn't Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC)[1] (built on Eucalyptus, which is 
built on Xen, and is Amazon EC2 compatible) more along the lines of what 
Derek wants, or is that overkill?

I read that KVM is internally far cleaner than Xen (I think you've 
mentioned that here several times), but have the support tools caught 
up, such that you can build an "enterprise" style cluster with KVM?

Then there's the issue of being able to migrate the VM to a third party, 
like Amazon. For now, that seems to lock you in to Xen.
