If you have followed the oVirt project for a few releases you already

oVirt has struggled to keep the pace with the fast innovation cycles Fedora
Project is following.
Back in September 2019 CentOS project launched CentOS Stream as a rolling
preview of future RHEL kernels and features, providing an upstream
development platform for ecosystem developers that sits between Fedora and
RHEL.
Since then the oVirt project tried to keep the software working on Fedora,
CenOS Stream, and RHEL/CentOS but it became quickly evident the project
lacked resources to keep the project running on three platforms. Further,
our user surveys show that oVirt users strongly prefer using oVirt on
CentOS and RHEL.
With the upcoming end of life of Fedora 30 the oVirt project has decided
to stop trying to keep the pace with this amazing platform, focusing on
stabilizing the software codebase on RHEL / CentOS Linux. By focusing our
resources and community efforts on RHEL/CentOS Linux and Centos Stream, we
can provide better support for those platforms and use more time for moving
oVirt forward.
Where was this discussed?
There is nothing about this in devel(a)ovirt.org or any other public mailing
list.
I think this is a big mistake. It will mainly harm development since Fedora
is the only platform where
we can test early upstream changes, many months (and sometimes years)
before the packages reach
RHEL/CentOS.
