[ovs-dev] Open vSwitch 2.7 release dates and process

[Alin Serdean]

Hi,

Maybe it is a bit late to bring this to the table, but I was wondering if the series: https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2016-December/326916.html
would make the cut for 2.7 .

The main advantages it allows the native implementation of Neutron ML2 with the existing ovs pypi (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ovs) to work under Windows.

We have spent the last month trying to make the code cleaner, when compared to the original patchset, reviewing it in house and testing it.

Thanks,
Alin.
