Redhat couldn't have made a much smarter move than updating RHEL4 with a paravirtualized kernel. This will allow businesses using RHEL4 to seamlessly upgrade to RHEL5 by hosting RHEL4 virtual machines under RHEL5.
Now Redhat needs to make enterprise virtualization management tools. There isn't anything opensource (yet) that comes even close to VMWare's Vmotion technology for policy based live-migration of vms. virt-manager is all cute if you are playing with a virtualized desktop, but doesn't do much for servers that don't have x.
virsh is getting there, but not yet.
