I'm quite sympathetic to that viewpoint--I think that OVS currently has
far too much distro-specific stuff in it. In the long run I'd like to
drop the Debian and Red Hat and XenServer packaging from the tree. As a

Debian developer myself, I know that it's not actually helpful for
upstream to provide packaging.
And if by upstream, you mean the distribution? They can be quite behind

Buster does have 2.8 at the moment, but Buster can be very unstable for
