I might not have the last say on this, but as a rule of thumb, any package released with RHEL is _supported_ by Red Hat. So I doubt this will happen, as Red Hat will not support oVirt as a part of RHEL.

The community might release a build that fits RHEL and its derivatives, but how "official" it will be I can't say. 
Actually, this leads me to another point - please do define "official" in this context
