Hi! OpenFlow is yet an "experimental" protocol with frequent changes. Almost one spec release every 6 months. Although this rhythm might change because it is evident vendors are not updating their hw at that pace. Reason why today most vendors are supporting 1.0 and some 1.3
It's been (kind of) decided to maintain a few years ago (not been involved in that decision) that it would be easier to develop the dissector as a plugin. (And also was/is probably not clean for including it in ws distribution) It might be though a good idea to clean it up and think to a strategy to handle the rather frequent changes in the spec and as such in the dissector code.
