Hi Ben,

Am I right in think that cut off for feature enhancements previously discussed on the ML is now January 15th if the above proposal goes ahead?

I guess there was an assumption on the OVS DPDK side that we would branch on January 1st with bug fixes and previously discussed feature enhancements possible until end of January for the 2.9 release, official release of 2.9 then being February 15th?

Thanks
Ian
