If any actively supported distro still uses it - yes.

No, in a development env.

No, since I don't remove/replace the Xen version that comes with the
distro, but run various Xen versions side by side. I have severe doubts
that this is possible with Python (even with Xen it's not as simple as it
ought to be - just see how easy it is to run different kernel versions on
the same box all underneath the same single distro).

As per above - no.

Not really - I'd still like to be able to also run Xen on my one remaining SLES9
box (until SLES9 goes out of support), which uses 2.3.3.
