Just want to point out that upgrades of the ovirt-server RPM should be 
possible as long as a rake db-migrate is done after an upgrade of the RPM.

So one (not supported) upgrade path could be to take an existing appliance 
  and update all of the oVirt RPMs on it.  After the RPM update then run 
the rake db-migrate.

It would actually be a good thing if users started doing this as it would 
get us on the path to being able to support true upgrades in the 1.0 
timeframe and it would also keep the developers honest since major 
database breakage would become apparent more readily.

I know David Lutterkort (dlutter at redhat.com) has expressed an interest in 
getting db upgrades working, so reach out to him on this he may be able to 
help.
