But new libvirt versions may require a newer qemu version, and oVirt itself
may require a new libvirt version.
These kind of excludes are fragile and need constant maintenance.

The previous poster proposed a global qemu exclusion.
I propose a partial qemu exclusion (on centos-streams only), with the
assumption that ovirt-required qemu will be pushed directly via the ovirt
repo.
In both cases, this is a temporary measure needed to avoid using the broken
qemu pushed by streams.
In both cases libvirt update from appstreams will get blocked - assuming it
requires the broken qemu release.
Do you advise we simply --exclude=qemu* everything we run dnf? I would
imagine it's far more dangerous and will block libvirt update just as well.
... Unless I'm missing something?
