The so called multivendor work is dependent now on the "flavors" framework. Patches were presented in the Icehouse release to enable multivendor support using the service-type-framework, however there were concerns on the use of that framework, and hence those patches were not approved in time.
A patch was presented in FWaaS to address the router/service insertion issue, however that was blocked as well. With the new blueprint process in place, the process on all of the above patches has pretty much been reset. Thanks, ~Sumit.
