Thanks for ranting. Community testing and ranting are to be cherished.
We must improve in the points you have raised.

I'm glad to read you're testing 3.3.1. May I ask you to add yourself to

I suspect you are not interested in "excuses" for each of the failures,
let us look forwards. My conclusions are:
- Do not require non-yet-existing rpms. If we require a feature that is
not yet in Fedora/Centos, we must wait. This is already in effect, see
for example
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/20248/ and
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/19545
- There's a Jenkins job to enforce the former requirement of spec
requirement. David, Sandro, any idea why it is not running these days?
- Keep the docs updated. Our Jenkins slaves have pep8-1.4.6, so we
should update
http://www.ovirt.org/Vdsm_Developers#Installing_required_packages
accordingly - and more importantly, make that version available.
Sandro, who built the python-pep8-1.4.6 that sits on the el6 Jenkins
slave? Could you make it publicly available? (I can volunteer
http://danken.fedorapeople.org again)

Based on your reports, you are tracking the correct tree; but please
describe which differences do you see (and between what releases
exactly).
