I guess this is probably a question for all current open source projects that red hat runs but - Does this mean oVirt will effectively become a rolling release type situation as well?

How exactly is oVirt going to stay open source and stay in cadence with all the other updates happening around it on packages/etc that it depends on if the streams are rolling release? Do they now need to fork every piece of dependency?

stability?

CentOS was the downstream of RHEL but has now become the upstream I guess oVirt was always downstream as well - yes?

If so then yes, I can't see much changing in the ways of oVirt

What goes in to oVirt goes in to RHV if I understand correctly, right? If so sorry, I meant upstream If I am understanding how all of this is changing correctly then this move to stream will only serve to benefit oVirt as it speeds up the pace of CentOS in the ecosystem and therefore potentially won't have breaking changes dependent and waiting on RHEL to release so CentOS can be built If I remember correctly (and I could be confusing this with another application), oVirt requires CentOS 7.3 or higher right?
