Beyond the release criteria, there's the main goal of the release - what 
is the major problem oVirt users have that we can fix for the next 
release, for example?

I find it useful to have one big user-visible goal to federate people 
around the release and give us a nice headline feature. Of course it's 
possible to have some smaller features we would like to add, and bugs we 
would like to fix. But the big goal provides both a neat way of 
prioritising work and a finish line to measure against.

Cheers,
Dave.
