Xen support was dropped in favor of KVM in RHEL 6. The "fix" should be to hide the invalid xen options if this is a RHEL 6 or higher base channel.

Resetting to default owner.

We have re-reviewed this bug, as part of an ongoing effort to improve Satellite/Proxy feature and bug updates, review and backlog.

This is a low priority bug and has no currently open customer cases. While this bug may still valid, we do not see it being implemented prior to the EOL of the Satellite 5.x product. As such, this is being CLOSED DEFERRED. 

Closing now to help set customer expectations as early as possible. You are welcome to re-open this bug if needed.
