[ovirt-users] Re: [ovirt-announce] [ANN] oVirt 4.4.4 is now generally available

Hi Bernardo, I think that when CentOS Stream 9 (and all EL 9 clones) come up - oVirt will switch , so I think it's worth trying the Stream (but no earlier than April).

Considering Centos Stream is on tech preview and Centos 8 is near EOL, what is the correct path? Install CentOS 8.3 and use it until EOL and then update the hosts to centos stream when it becomes stable? install CentOS Stream even though it is on tech preview? Regards!
