Security vulnerability disclosure process accepted

Last week the proposed changes to the security policy were approved unanimously by the Xen committers; the policy has been updated accordingly.
What this means is that now if you are “public hosting provider”, “vendor of Xen-based system”, or a “distributor of operating systems with Xen support”, regardless of your size, you may be eligible to join the pre-disclosure list.
