Thanks for letting us know.  I do want to make sure we're on the same
page though.

Soft freeze for 26.03 is scheduled for today.  But that doesn't mean
that all feature patches must be _merged_ before soft freeze.  We have 4
more weeks (with soft freeze in effect) until we branch.

In this period, patches for features that qualified for the release [0]
can be worked on (posting new versions addressing comments) and may be
merged:

"
1. "Soft freeze" of the main branch.

During the freeze, we ask committers to refrain from applying patches
that add new features unless those patches were already posted for
public review and had received public review feedback on the mailing
list before the freeze began.  Bug fixes are welcome at any time.
Please propose and discuss exceptions on ovs-dev.
"

As your series has already been reviewed and no major blockers were
raised, it means it _qualifies_ for 26.03.0.  So you would have 4 more
weeks to post new versions, receive review feedback on the new versions,
address the feedback, get the patches merged into the main branch.

At that point, after 4 weeks (scheduled for February 20th), we enter the
"hard freeze" period, i.e., we will create branch-26.03 based on the
main branch at that point, no new features are accepted on the new
branch-26.03 anymore.  Not even the ones that originally qualified for
26.03 but didn't get merged.  New features may be merged on the main
branch from this point on.

Exceptions are possible though.

So, TL/DR, you don't need to rush into sending a v2 now, in theory you
have 4 weeks time.  But the sooner the better of course. :)

Regards,
DUmitru
