Last time we dropped some centos-release-gluster packages from Extras,
but oVirt was still expecting older, unmaintained Gluster versions to be
available. What version of Gluster does oVirt consume at the moment?

Ideally we archive/drop all EOL versions. The current maintained
versions are on https://www.gluster.org/release-schedule/
