Hi, well there is the release process, basically:

every 6 months a new point release (3.5 now, 3.6 will be next)
see: http://www.ovirt.org/Release_Process

ovirt does "support" the last release before the actual
release, but this rule somehow does already got broken:

the current release is 3.4.4

the next release will be 3.5 (RC4 just released)

but even with 3.5 not released there will be no
updates for 3.3.z (3.3.5 being the last release)
and there will be _only_ security updates for 3.4.z.

There is no planned 3.4.5 release if no security
issues will be found.

IMHO the process is somewhat broken here, because
the "support" for 3.3.z is already abandoned with
3.5 not being released yet (there where some delays
in 3.5 release process, due to bugs).

This might be due to the fast development cycle atm:

3.2 was GA at 14.02.2013
3.3 was GA at 12.09.2013
3.4 was GA at 27.03.2014

so as you can see 3.5. is already
a bit delayed.

you can find the 3.6 release plan (not yet feature complete)
