As mentioned above there are many things in dual stack which could be setup
incorrectly and thus breaking the whole oVirt. And it's almost impossible
to mention all possible corner cases into the documentation. So in general
dual stack should work, but due to above it just cannot be marked as
supported.

But if you encounter some issue when running dual stack feel free to file a
bug, so we can investigate.
