I'd like to clarify the relation of oVirt and CentOS Stream:
1. In images that oVirt publishes and include an OS, this OS is now
(since 4.4.6) CentOS Stream.
For ovirt-node, this means that if you upgrade to 4.4.6 node, you get Stream.
For ovirt-engine-appliance, once you install this (as part of a
hosted-engine deployment), the
VM you get is a plain OS installation that is not automatically
upgraded. It's up to the user
to upgrade, also to Stream if desirable/needed.
2. Everything else is plain old RPMs. oVirt tests these on Stream. If
any other rebuild of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux works for you, you are welcome to use that.
As Sandro published
today in the users survey results, some of us do.
