Apologies, I've missed your other comment.

Yes, I saw what you're describing in with a PoC script I did before
rewriting it in Autotest:

https://github.com/jsitnicki/tools/blob/master/net/ovn/example_count_lflow_run.txt

I was considering making the EXPECT_HIT check less coarse but decided to
keep it simple at first. It's certainly something I would like to
improve.

Good point, I did not think of that. Having the EXPECT_{HIT,NO_HIT}
accept a batch of commands could be doable with some m4_foreach magic.
I will need to give it a try.

Yes, sure. Feel free to pull these patches into your series. I'm
glad they will be of use.

Meanwhile, I will try to add the two enhancements we're discussing
here.

Thanks,
Jakub
