Thanks Ben for the suggestion. I thought news is also for developers.
Shall we mention the ovsdb protocol change in NEWS? I think it may
help other ovsdb integrators to improve their client to utilize the
new feature. If this is good to have, how about:
"OVSDB clients can now resynchronize with clustered servers much more
quickly after a brief disconnection, saving bandwidth and CPU time.
See section 4.1.15 of ovsdb-server(7) for details of related OVSDB
protocol extension."
