I think you're looking at out of date web pages.  As of today we updated 
to version 0.96 for oVirt which uses Fedora 10 as a base.  The install 
instructions say:

Refresh the page to make sure you're getting the latest copy of the 
documentation in your browser, you might have a stale copy in your cache.

This is also explained on the install instructions page:

Feature requests can be made directly to ovirt-devel.  Also, you can put 
request into bugzilla at bugzilla.redhat.com.  Use the Other Miscellaneous 
Products and Virtualization Tools as the categories.  Then the components 
are all prefaced with oVirt (i.e. oVirt Node, oVirt Server Suite, etc...)
