so a day has passed, I am up for an update:
- there was a regression (YANGTOOLS-1407) detected in lispflow
integration, that is taken care of
- https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/q/topic:sulfur-mri is started,
with most of the patches in a reasonable shape
- of that, there are some prerequisites in OFP which can be merged --
and Sangwook already merged most of them
- there is a model-vs-code impedance in OFP, I will looking into that
tomorrow -- either the code needs to be adjusted or the model, both are
quite easy to do
- there is the same problem in lispflowmapping, I think I know the
answer, but fired an email at Lori to confirm
- both netconf and bgpcep builds are passing to ~50% mark

The major outstanding item are the MD-SAL regressions detected in ovsdb
(and same thing is biting netconf) and bgpcep, tracked as MDSAL-731 and
MDSAL-735 respectivelly.

I believe they are manifestations on of a problem with the new
RuntimeType code -- and seem to have a good idea as to what needs to be
done. I am currently working on a prototype. In terms of progress, it
needs a bit of work for a test drive, but so far the code challenges are
asking all the right questions, AFAICT.

If all goes well, I should have a fix ready tomorrow, but I won't know
until it's complete enough to face testing.

Regards,
Robert
