Can you document in vswitch.xml that this is a fully qualified domain
name, and that before OVS 2.7 it was not fully qualified?  (Or, before
2.6.2, if you want it backported?)

Also, there is some possibility that some installations relied on this
being non-fully-qualified, and if we get bug reports about that change
then we'd probably have to revert it.

Thanks,

Ben.
