This is fantastic news! Thanks for sharing it. Olivier mentioned that something might be in the works but didn't mention much more than that.
I've used DRBD on various projects in the past and been nothing but impressed by it. It would be interesting to see if you could reach out to the folks behind HA-Lizard as well; they've got a lot of experience with DRBD on Xen systems.
Hopefully, you'll be able to keep some of the features they're deprecating like the vswitch controller.

Any thought on how much of it Citrix may be trying to make closed-source to throw a wrench in the spokes for XCP-ng?
I know they've announced a session at Synergy just to talk about it so I'm pretty sure it'll be out before then but I hadn't heard anything about sometime in the next couple of weeks.
@r1 I think that config option is to enable pNFS server support, not the client. I'm pretty sure this being disabled just means that XCP-ng can't be used as a pNFS server (though a VM running on it certainly could).
@atmurphy, I haven't tried it, but there are a set of plugins available for Xencenter that might work under XCP-ng Center that adds an auto-start option. See https://www.citrix.com/blogs/2018/03/14/xenserver-plugins-collection-v6/
