I talked about it a bit before here: >> https://lists.opendaylight.org/pipermail/tsc/2016-July/005665.html >> > As many probably know, OVS is moving to a twice a year release schedule and is aligning with OpenStack: https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2016-November/324752.html Many of our projects depend on OVS and also work with OpenStack.
