Do you have any opinions on "Xen verification framework"?
If we weren't going to change it, then you should probably put a note
somewhere near the top of the introduction saying something like, "If
you're looking for the Xen automated push-gate software, you want
osstest[link]", so that people who want osstest but search for "xen
test framework" find what they're looking for.
