Indeed, I read that. My reasoning at this point it might be too late in 
the text. Users (me included) already have tried this at this point 
using the pictured guide and failing because of the missing provider.

This is the point witch was entirely unclear for me in my first attempt 
and it took me a while to find out.

While the discovery plugin is needed (only) for Bare-Metal Provisioning, 
the ovirt provider is always needed for the integration to succeed.

I did think about a hint early on describing the workflow briefly in the 
detailed description section:
- Make sure Foreman is running at version X
- Install RPMs in Foreman (see Bare-Metal Provisioning)
- Go to engine, "Adding foreman provider"

This is great to know!

This will do here.
