Q Xen Maintainers - Is Xen in the default kernel coming?

https://news.opensuse.org/2016/11/16/optimal-release-for-linux-professionals-arrives-with-opensuse-leap-42-2/

XEN no longer requires it’s own kernel and is supported by the default kernel.

I just checked, and at least for now, you still have to boot to a Xen kernel instead of a default kernel.
So, wondering if there is any truth in the surprising statement that a separate kernel will no longer be implemented…

Is that on the near term roadmap and just didn’t make the cut or something that’s completely not something that’s coming?
