It can be supported on RHEL if the OOT kernel module is loaded. And we did support building OOT module for RHEL. We'll clean this up once the support is fully removed. > > > 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. I added deprecation warnings in all places where we tell how to set them up, but I didn't want to pollute simple lists of features like this one. Especially because 'deprecated' doesn't mean they are not supported. We have a NEWS entry, warnings in documentation about specific features and a runtime warning. It should be enough, I think. If someone reads the readme for the first time, they'll likely look at the other parts of the documentation to figure out how to set it up. WDYT?
