Possibly I can't remember myself either.

In a pre-raisin world I suppose I thought it didn't make too much sense
to go through that churn if we weren't going to stop _all_
cloning/downloading from within xen.git.

Personally I would have considered qemu-trad very much part of the long
tail wrt moving things out of xen.git, but anyway.

I'd like to see raisin used/supported by osstest before we start
accepting thoe sorts of xen.git patches being suggested here.

(I also think osstest support is a prerequisite for saying it is an
officially support XenProject thing, but that's offtopic in this
context)
