I think history tells us how this will end - similar to IPv4 options,
implementations that don't implement TLVs will become deployed and
then when there is a use for them it's no longer possible. Since I
don't want OVS to have a half implementation or contribute to this
issue, I'd like to see the whole protocol implemented before I apply
anything.
