I've not been part of the ovirt project for 9 years now and have left red
hat in 2018, so this isn't insider talk, just pure speculation. However...
KubeVirt has been making a splash in the current height-of-fashion platform
kubernetes and by extension in openshift. To me it only makes a lot of
sense for red hat to converge their efforts on a single platform to rule
them all. It's a learning curve, true, but what isn't? try
Add to that the fact that nice technologies like mayastor are being
developed for k8s, and you might start getting a bit of a light at the end
of the tunnel, which just might not turn out to be an oncoming train.
In short, give it a try, worst case - you end up on proxmox.

Interesting, I hadn't read about the planned migration from RHV
to
OpenShift. Based on what I've read here, it seems like 4.5 development is
well underway, so I doubt 4.4 will be the last release of oVirt. That
would mean August is probably not the end of the line.
However, the removal of gluster appears to be slated for 4.5, so it's
possible it's intended as a final release to harmonize the feature between
RHV and OpenShift somewhat, to make migration to OpenShift easier?

there is just no chance oVirt can survive (unless you're ready to take
over). RHV 4.4 full support ends this August and that very likely means
that oVirt won't receive updates past July (judging by how things happened
with 4.3).
