You are not a pest at all Aaron.
I already thank you for driving this all the time since we started looking
at it about a year ago.

Just as of now I face the question if I have to maintain my delta to DPDK (
https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server/dpdk/tree/
debian/patches/fix-vhost-user-socket-permission.patch?h=
ubuntu-yakkety-dpdk16.07).
But now even worse than having to have a delta for such a long time it
seems we have to add openvswitch delta as well.
This is due to the EAL commandline no more being "reachable" via
"ovs-vswitchd [...] --dpdk [DPDK-EAL-OPTIONS]" by the (otherwise great)
changes to move dpdk configuration into ovsdb.
(BTW - If I missed that one can still insert arbitrary EAL command line
options via other_config please let me know).

So therefore a last try to jointly "pest-vote" for the ability to control
ownership/permission before OSV 2.6 release ...
... Ping ...
