Actually, you can do that proactively - if you consider upgrading to
some version, you can search bugzilla for bugs targetted to the next
one, and if any of them look serious, wait.

I personally had to build my own hot-fix oVirt release with all the fixes and without changes under development. I can only guess what other users experienced.

See my earlier reply in this thread about the risks you take by doing that.

That said, if that's what you want, you can also use the 4.0 nightly snapshot:

https://www.ovirt.org/develop/dev-process/install-nightly-snapshot/

Was using this significantly different than what you built yourself?

Best,
