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
