Engine-setup tries to install iptables-services on RHEL6.6 as well. This ends up with error but it doesn't have any effect on the setup itself which completes succesfully. 

Please fix this.

so what is the problem? it tires, it fails and fallback to iptables.

The user sees an error during setup which might be a problem.

it can be safely ignored and the process succeeds.

Since the iptables-services are required only for RHEL7, it's not important to show this error message on RHEL6. The user can be confused by it and look for solution which isn't needed. 
For this reason it would be better to show the error message only when iptables-services package is required (on RHEL7).

much more complex to resolve the dependency tree and see what package provides what, easier and safer to just tell yum to install a package.

the implementation will not check for distribution name, and relay only on available packages at all distros, including fedora, rhel and potentially others.

once again, there is no real issue here.

*** Bug 1225913 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I'd personally prefer otopi to not install any packages by its own plugins, instead either depend on them (if always required) or have the packages using it depend on them (if required) or install them (probably subject to input from user).

This applies, btw, to iproute too. Probably all of src/plugins/otopi/network/hostname.py should be optional. Those users that should have noticed the warning it emits just ignore it anyway, see bug 1226910.

didi, please understand that otopi is not installed at a machine but is sent over the wire to prepare a machine from state zero to state one.

You refer to host-deploy, I assume. Any problem making host-deploy ask to install iptables-service if it wants to?

host-deploy uses otopi, both are designed for local and remote installation.

verified in ovirt-host-deploy-1.4.1-1.el6ev.noarch

Since oVirt 3.6.0 has been released, moving from verified to closed current release.
