Hi Mark and all,

Sorry for this late reply, I have my head in the wrong place lately.

I would like these two bits considered for freeze inclusion:

1. VXLAN support:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openvswitch/patch/20200826171253.1010528-1-ihrachys@redhat.com/
2. Multibridge / colocated chassis support:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/ovn/list/?series=201739

The former needs some minor adjustments (will send an update
tomorrow), the latter has all comments / known issues addressed.

Let me know if there's still time to consider these two pieces.

Thanks,
Ihar
