Despite an increase of new features compared to previous releases, the Xen Project Hypervisor codebase has only increased by 6KLOC compared to Xen 4.5. In addition, we were able to increase the number of changesets that we integrated into Xen from 178/month (1812 in total) for Xen 4.5 to 259/month (2247 in total). In addition, the quality of Xen 4.6 was higher than in the past, enabling the CentOS 7 Virtualization SIG and XenServer to include Xen into their upcoming releases.
