[Bug 2032605] Re: [FFe] Update OVN to new 23.09.0 upstream version

[Łukasz Zemczak]

I agree with Utkarsh - it's a bit to soon to consider this FFe, blanket
FFe's for unreleased releases are a bit problematic. The timing is very
important to the feasibility of an FFe.

Some question: how confident are we in the quality of the current
snapshot builds? If we give a +1 to the snapshot upload but the actual
release is delayed enough that there will be a -1 to the FFe for the new
full release, how confident would you be with having the snapshot as the
version that we release in 23.10? Is the release likely to slip more
beyond September 15?

Title:
  [FFe] Update OVN to new 23.09.0 upstream version

Status in ovn package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  As detailed in an upstream announcement [0], the OVN 23.09.0 release
  is delayed. The estimated date for release is Friday September 15th.

  This new upstream version includes fixes and new features that are
  important for our community, and we would like to include it in the
  Ubuntu Mantic release.

  Our plan towards the Ubuntu release is the following:
  - Upload a snapshot based on the upcoming 23.09 branch if FFe is ACK'd.
  - As soon as the upstream release is cut we will upload a final package based on the released source artifacts.
