CentOS virt - Feb 2016 - installing xen on c7

hi,

I just noticed that yum install xen does not pull in the xen kernel on
c7, is this by design ?

   * Install centos-release-xen from centos-extras

Then a yum update followed by a yum install xen.

That worked for me...

i had to do something similar, but my question is - one cant run xen
without the kernel, so why not have the xen package require the xen
kernel as a prereq ?
