[ovs-discuss] OpenFlow Vendor Message

OpenFlow provides an extension message for vendors.
The FAQ indicates that I would have to change some code and add my own. 
After this, I would have to rebuild OVS.

Since OVS is used in some white box NOS Systems like Picos I would have 
to rebuild the whole OVS for my switch.  It would be much smaller 
workload if we could supply the extension in form of a dynamically 
linkable object so we only would switch out a .so file on the box.

Would it be worth implementing this?
