I asked about this on the Kubernetes Slack workspace and Vadim mentioned
that in order for the OKD project to continue providing oVirt support,
someone with oVirt knowledge and operator development would need to step
up. It would also require forking the installer and a few other
projects, which is something the OKD team spent a lot of effort to not
have to do anymore during the 4.x series.

Looking at the OpenShift Installer git, so far what's changed is an
admin can no longer specify oVirt as a deployment target. According to
Jira, there will be a second phase of the deprecation where the actual
provisioning pieces (e.g. Terraform) will be removed, but that probably
won't be for 4.14.

But not having anyone develop the CSI driver means it will likely end up
with bit rot. With OpenShift 4.14 the oVirt platform becomes less
attractive to use, though IPI/UPI installations should be possible. A
different storage backend would probably be recommended, however.
