You have a point. I am increasingly aware of the importance of
documentation, especially good documentation that clearly illustrates the
history of development, which can help readers quickly get started with
software systems.

Can you tell me the steps to improve the documentation?
you need to find appropriate document, fix it and send a pull request.
There's a README [1] with the step in oVirt site git repo [1] or if you want
to send a pull request, you can find guide how to do it on [2].
Looking more into the original question you asked, it's maybe correct. I
don't know if we have any strict rules when cluster version is bumped, but
it seems in the past it was done mainly to ensure OS has specific features
provided advanced virtualization packages, which are usually available only
on specific OS version and higher. So in this case the documentation is
correct (and I was wrong in my previous answer), as OS version determines
packages available on the host and these determines capabilities of tools
(like libvirt, qemu) which oVirt is build upon.
Hopefully makes sense.

yes, it's not operating system version, but installed oVirt version on
the host (but not oVirt engine, there's only one engine and host
haven't engine installed).
Could you please improve the doc [1]?
Thanks
