Clearing doc-text because we already say that users must upgrade to the next z-stream from the latest previous one. 4.1.7 is already out, so users of 4.2 will anyway have to upgrade to at least 4.1.7 when 4.2 is out.

ok, as we recommend always from latest version inside $major.$minor (ie. 4.1.8 -> 4.2)

for archives, it failed from 4.1.6 -> 4.2 but 4.1.6 is not latest one per today:

from 4.1.6 to 4.2:

--> Processing Conflict: ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-ovirt-engine-4.2.0.2-0.1.el7.noarch conflicts ovirt-engine < 4.1.7
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-ovirt-engine conflicts with ovirt-engine-4.1.6.2-0.1.el7.noarch
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

4.1.6 -> 4.1.8 -> 4.2 worked ok - ovirt-engine-4.2.0.2-0.1.el7.noarch
