Thomas, can you give an insight on approximate timeframe for next update
release? Will it be 7.0 branch or 7.1? Looks like that the kernel can be
updated in some weeks, according to previous dates of releases, but I`d
prefer to ask anyway. I`ll just rip out all gre/vxlan/lisp-related code
in a meantime for tests, but it will be lovely to allow possibility to
use more or less generic OVS datapath distribution.
