I noticed a mention of LISP tunnels in Documentation/intro/install/rhel.rst.
This was introduced with f9ee9dcb378f ("rhel: Remove the firewall hole
that we create for GRE.") though I don't think LISP was ever supported
in RHEL.
This could be removed now, or it can wait for the full removal post 3.5.
Reading https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs, STT and LISP tunnels are
still advertised as supported.
Flagging in README.rst would make this deprecation more visible.
Otherwise series lgtm.
