While they are fully compliant with the AGPLv3 and can say "our stuff is open source", this satisfies only the strictest sense of the license. It doesn't supporting integration with most distributions' repositories. This ends up looking like a commercial product to most users look for personal to enterprise scale management front ends.

I agree, but XCP-ng is still the most attractive system on the market for home / small business use in my opinion. Xen Orchestra itself isn't needed either, I do most stuff on the cli and code-monkeying arguably reinforces that even more. Patching up something that allows you to VNC a VM for the initial setup/debug doesn't require much investment / knowhow.
