i think this will work for you, but you do need to remember nightly 
builds are moving target wrt stability.
and that focus on upgrade flow will be from 3.0, rather than from some 
nightly build.
OTOH, the ovirt engine rpms for fedora are just now ready, and 
freeze/testing for 3.1 should start in a couple of weeks, so you may 
want to try nightly after all to help the testing effort.
