Hi Ian o/,
it was mostly for the discussion about when/how to carve out a first
OVS 2.15 to be in time for the Debian Feature Freeze.
Ubuntu is in the same situation every spring (overlapping release
dates) - so I shared before that this worked well
for us in the past - and also this time seems to work well.

Yeah I know, we've taken a slightly later commit (in case there would
have been follow up fixes) and things seem fine for now.
We will (as usual) before the final release then update to the latest
and then final 2.15.
