What? Not from me. ;-)

Why do you ask this here, instead of an OpenSUSE list/forum/whatever?

I know several people having done so, yes.

Ask OpenSUSE community?

BTW, I'm able to select "Xen Virtualization Host and Tools" from the
"Software" menu when installing openSUSE 15.2. It is even above the
"KVM Virtualization Host and Tools" option.

They are.

Did you use internet during installation? The KVM package is available on the DVD without the internet connection but Xen...

Yes, I've used the network installer.

The DVD is limited in space, so there has to be a selection what to put
on it.

Again: this here is the wrong place to ask why a distribution has chosen
to not put some packages on their installation DVD. Ask the distributor,
which is the openSUSE community in this case.

Why the DVD doesn't have free space for Xen but have for KVM?
OK, if it is because of DVD space then why not remove KVM and add Xen instead of it?
I asked "https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/541471-How-to-install-Xen-during-installation" .
