Hi Thomas,
just my two cents as Ubuntu DPDK maintainer (and part of the Debian Team
that does the same).
We never enabled CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_XEN_DOM0, we only did LIBRTE_PMD_XENVIRT
based on a user request we had.
That said we won't "take away" anything from anybody and so far had no
request to provide it.
The person that asked for the XEN_PMD was Thiago (set to CC as he might
have an opinion on that).
For me I think it is a good change to drop rather unmaintained parts to
make the rest more stable:
