Hello,
I start again from the initial post.
There is still something that I miss on this.
I currently have a host in oVirt 4.0.5 and in CentOS 7.2 (last update run
on mid November)
What are the steps I should run to keep current my oVirt host os now?

If I now run

[root at ractor ~]# yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Repository virtio-win-stable is listed more than once in the configuration
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

No qemu related update proposed.

The same if I run a "yum clean all" before.

My current situation about it:

[root at ractor ~]# rpm -qa|grep ^qemu
qemu-kvm-common-ev-2.3.0-31.el7.16.1.x86_64
qemu-img-ev-2.3.0-31.el7.16.1.x86_64
qemu-kvm-ev-2.3.0-31.el7.16.1.x86_64
qemu-kvm-tools-ev-2.3.0-31.el7.16.1.x86_64
[root at ractor ~]#

Does this mean I'm going to have problems still, because of libvirt version
provided by CentOS 7.3 and qemu-kvm-ev 2.3?
Also, what are exactly te problems we are speaking about?
Do I need to follow what suggested in one of the threads's mails

"
You can enable CentOS Virt SIG repo by running "yum install
centos-release-qemu-ev" on your CentOS 7 systems.
and you'll have updated qemu-kvm-ev."

Is it planned that this repo is going to be enabled by default then, so
that no manual intervention from users?

Thanks,
Gianluca
