Hi Erlon and Dumitru,

my 2c on this whole story.

Once again I would like to say what I said previously during the
discussions, this patch 2/2 wasn't considered as safe to backport.
During our discussion we were willing to allow the 1/2 (the register
definitions) to be backported to unblock the workaround. There was
even a pushback on the register definition backport in a sense that
we shouldn't expose internals on stable branches. The aim was
to find a solution that might be backportable. In my mind that would
be the ovn-controller version as it is way simpler (we still need to
see the final version). Also AFAICT we wouldn't need the register
definitions going with the ovn-controller solution.

Considering the above, the optimal path cannot happen in my opinion.
We shouldn't have anything temporary solution on stable branches;
whatever  feature lands in a stable branch (and this is a feature),
needs to have some guarantees.

So talking about the 26.03 timeline there is plenty of time to go
without the need for any temporary solutions. We could have
a permanent one in a form of ovn-controller version before the
26.03 release. If you don't have enough time to invest into
ovn-controller solution we might be able to help with the
development.

To sum up, I'm very hesitant to put my name behind the northd
approach even on main. The backport however is unfortunately
hard nack from my side.
