Oops ... I remember seeing those patches.  I guess I missed them going
in.  It seems like we can use those changes to improve things in the
short term without massive disruption to the code base.

I get the feeling that we may have some parallel work streams here -
some easier optimizations to ovn-northd based on the change tracking
already merged into the IDL API, and then a longer term exploration of
an nlog based ovn-northd.  Does that seem reasonable?  Assuming that
makes sense, I'd like to start working on using those changes in thge
current ovn-northd.
