I agree.  Database constraints should not hold us back from a
discussion of the evolving nature of consent.

The documentation of "encap" in ovn(5) previously benefited from a
list of possible encapsulations generated automatically from the
schema.  With this commit, that will no longer be the case, so I would
update ovn.xml to list the encapsulations that we have thought about
supporting.  I think that Geneve needs to be on the list.
