Thomas made some progress and had a working prototype, but there were some 
corner cases.  Jarno has started thinking about NAT support for OVS and has 
looked at Thomas's code.  I don't want to commit to any timelines, but it's 
something that we're going to need for OVN before too long, so I'd expect to 
see some progress on it.
