Yes, given time is running out we need to get the transition starting ASAP, unfortunately. The upstream OVS timeline for RCs and releases unfortunately doesn't quite align and would be too late. I asked the release team for an exception but I had no answer, so at this point it seems to me the safest course of action is to assume we're not getting one. There has been extensive testing of that commit id by Canonical, so it should be safe to use in unstable/testing for a month, until the proper release. Thank you! Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
