Hi,
Personally I don't really see the problem with the CentOS stream switch.
Not trying to start a long discussion but I think it will be even be an
improvement.
Currently we use different combinations of EPEL, SCL, Elrepo etc. just
to get some newer packages and a lot of people do the same and have no
issues with this. oVirt even uses EPEL packages as dependency.
Most of these will become redundant because of stream...
Actually Red Hat has the same strategy for oVirt, it's an upstream for
Red Hat Virtualization. So with the new CentOS strategy you will be one
step ahead on OS and virtualization manager of the paid version.
Testing is always required and with tooling like Katello you can push
the packages after testing to production easily. If you need enterprise
grade stability and support that much, then you should buy it or hire
people to do it in house.
Just my 2c as I see a lot of people getting really worked up about it.

And I don’t mean it in a way that we - all the people with @redhat.com address - are forbidden to do that or something, it’s really about the sheer amount of work and dedication required, doubling the integration efforts. oVirt is (maybe surprisingly) complex and testing it on any new platform means a lot of extra manpower.
