I think it will be done soon, within a week or two. It's just a matter of getting a little bit of review bandwidth from someone. Our release process calls for the next stable release to branch off of master on Jan. 15 and to release on Feb. 15. Are you interested in hearing about the patches being committed or the release coming out? If it's just the latter, we have a very low-bandwidth ovs-announce mailing list that you could subscribe.
