SUPPORT.md: Argo: Upgrade status to Tech Preview

[PATCH] SUPPORT.md: Argo: Upgrade status to Tech Preview

Posted by Christopher Clark 1 year, 3 months ago

Recent patches to xen-devel indicate active interest in Argo within the Xen
community, and as the feature has been documented and in use by
OpenXT for multiple years, update the Xen SUPPORT.md statement of status.

We also discussed this in XenSummit didn't we?

If so, I'd suggest that gets mentioned too.

As for work before full security support, destruction is currently a
long-running operation which needs making preemptible.  Specifically,
moving into domain_teardown().

Testing has now gone ahead.  I'm going take this patch so SUPPORT.md is
less far from reality.

What is missing to make the feature supported (or suported but not 
security supported)?
