There is a discussion on the OVS ml at the moment to get these symbols
in the stable ABI for 19.11.
I want to understand how this would be done.

- I take this patch in 20.02, these symbols are added in the 20.0.1 ABI.
On the other hand, the 19.11 release maintains the 20.0 ABI.

Does it mean the backport adds these symbols with the 20.0 version in
the 19.11 branch?
Or is 20.0.1 version acceptable / a thing we want?


- These symbol already existed in the 20.0 ABI, versioned as EXPERIMENTAL.
We can go and remove these entries since we are not bound to preserve
the experimental APIs.
But, on the other hand, nothing should prevent us from keeping some
aliases so that the symbols versioned EXPERIMENTAL are still available
to existing users.
