I don't like the idea of using "write", because "write-actions" has a
specific meaning in OpenFlow and users might falsely associate it with
"write-groups".

On the other hand, "add_or_modify" is a bit long and awkward.

Here is what I suggest.  In code, use "add_or_modify", because it is
clear.  In the ovs-ofctl command-line interface, do not add a new
command; instead, add a new option --may-create to the mod-group command
which uses add_or_modify.  This has precedent in the ovs-dpctl command,
which has a --may-create option on its mod-flow command.

Thanks,

Ben.
