I found the way Fedora do it very nice (on: http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora)
Basically they always point you to the latest stable release,
but when an newer version is available in Alpha/Beta they have a frame there that points you in that direction.

i.e. https://web.archive.org/web/20131029211621/https://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora

So maybe something similar when a new version of oVirt is approaching?
