It's being removed from RHEL 9, unsure of reasoning.
So this mean that oVirt cannot offer SPICE/QXL on RHEL9, there is no
spice package, qemu is compiled without SPICE/QXL support, the kernel
does not support QXL video drivers.
It's not that oVirt is killing off SPICE/QXL, but rather RHEL9 is and
oVirt cannot support a feature not available on the host OS unless 3rd
party packages or a SiG makes them available.

Hello,
Can I ask why this is being removed?
The linked bugzilla report doesn't give a reason, and at least two others have
expressed concerns over SPICE's deprecation.
Personally, I would like to know why it's being removed entirely with no recourse
instead of becoming an option to enable in the VM config, or an optional RPM that can be
installed by the sysadmin.
Thanks.

Hello,
Are we to assume that VNC mode is the only thing that will be supported for the VM
consoles moving forward then?
As the pure SPICE mode only works with QXL display as far as I can tell.
I ask because the VNC or SPICE+VNC modes haven't worked in my environment for over a
year now, and that change
would effectively prevent the use of any VM console in my environment. (Use of VNC with
remote viewer always gives
me an authentication error.) Not that it's a normal environment, but that kind of
thing should be advertised more. Just in case
simillar issues exist in other deployments.
Yes, one would need to make sure vnc/vga works well before upgrading to the next
cluster-level (in oVirt 4.5)
In general it is recommended to test the configuration in the new cluster-level by
setting some representative VMs in the environment with a custom compatibility level and
check that they work properly before upgrading to that cluster-level.
Thanks.

upss.. pardon me, these are from CentOS 9 Steam own repos
actually.
Right, and that's the reason for the ongoing work on removing qxl on cluster level
