I've taken the liberty to do those RHBZ updates on Liran's behalf (also
because I wanted to be subscribed to these BZs).
Thanks!
Yes we should support it. But on anycase, I planned on switching any incoming VM on import for the new cluster level (running on el9) to VNC/VGA by default. QXL(and therefore SPICE) won't be an option for guests after this BZ (on new cluster level).
That's why I mentioned RHV - we didn't deprecate SPICE so saying that all VMs would be set with VGA on the latest cluster level might be problematic (we'll need to convert them on cluster upgrade, right?). Assuming we keep QXL on RHV and only, e.g., default new VMs to VGA, inspecting what virt-v2v specifies in the OVF can be useful to rule out the case we import a VM that was exported with QXL
