It is clear that the priorities of developers shifted towards work on features in 3.3 release, which feature freeze is happening in about 2 weeks, so you can understand the time pressure they all have. There's no need to be angry about that. It is an open source project and as resources for the development are limited, we're trying to do our best to cover as much issues as possible. This can lead to situations as this issue, which may be left behind for some time. That said, the process for upgrading the oVirt 3.1 on Fedora 17 to oVirt 3.2 on Fedora 18 is complex and non-trivial, that's why it is taking time to resolve all the issues that come up in the process. If this matter is not extremely urgent, we are currently working on a tool that may make this upgrade easier, albeit, maybe, not completely automatic. On the other hand, if this is a completely and utterly urgent, we may try to guide you through possible manual attempts to perform the upgrade. Mind though, that they weren't thoroughly tested, and not promised to go smoothly or even work, and we may have to think about possible alternative solutions on the go.
