Have anybody tried xcp 8.0 with the intel x56xx series cpu?

why is support for this cpus dropped, are there any technical behind it or just that they are old and considerd Legacy?

i would like to know if this cpus have been tried with this veriosn of xcp.

I can agree with you that my meaning of sneaky this time was not accounted for, at first glance my thought was this function was removed by intention by vates when the xsconsole was revamped to further push backup/restore options towards XO usage. I see now that i was wrong in that assumption!
