Ahh, that looks better.  I was looking at this:

https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/migration-engine-36-to-40/

which just kind of glosses over how to upgrade the OS. :)

I do usually use my custom CentOS install (rather than the appliance);
is there a way to do that?

No, not with that flow and not in 4.1 at all.
ovirt-engine-appliance is basically just a centos VM plus ovirt-engine.
Once deployed you can tune it as you need.
 

Also, is it normally recommended to upgrade one major release at a time?

For the engine it's not just recommended, it's mandatory!
 
In other words, aside from the engine CentOS6->7 step, would upgrading
from 3.5 to 4.1 need to go through 3.6 and 4.0 along the way?
