Not really, not when upgrading to 4.0 at any rate. Take chapter 4 in that guide:

http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade-guide/chap-Post-Upgrade_Tasks/ 
<http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade-guide/chap-Post-Upgrade_Tasks/>

When you perform these steps, you are advised that you now need to restart the 
VMs to enable the new 4.0 compatible configurations.

As there is no 4.1 upgrade guide, I’m left to interpret Chapter 1 to imply that 
you need to be at 4.0 to go to 4.1. But does that mean just having the Cluster 
and DC levels at 4.0, or also having your VMs running at 4.0? This wasn’t 
applicable to 3.6, so there’s no parallel here. Basically, I’m concerned that a 
similar procedure for setting Cluster & DC compatibility to 4.1 will not 
properly handle VMs still running with 3.6 configs, and hoping someone has 
concrete knowledge of this step that can chime in.

FYI, the breadcrumbs on the web site don’t actually work, they give you a page 
with the right number of list items for what you’re reading, but no actual 
links to the chapters (the href is present, but no link text exists).
