Ok, we will make it two separate questions. Thank you for your flexibility on this! Allison

In the 2023 results so far, approximately 8% of deployments are running a release older than Mitaka. So while it’s a very small amount, I think it’s the most beneficial to the community to get the most accurate representation possible.
If that means adding a second question like Slawek proposes, we can make that work. I would just need to know how the answer choices very by question. If y’all can provide that, I can make that update.
So those old core plugins were completly dropped (removed from neutron repo) in Neutron 8.0.0 (Mitaka). In 7.0.0 (Liberty) most of them were removed but not all. In Mitaka all except ML2 and Hyper-v was deleted already. To have most accurate representation possible and if we can split it into two questions then we would like it to be be like:
1. Which OpenStack Network (Neutron) core plugin are you using? A10 Networks Arista Big Switch Brocade / Broadcom Calico Cisco UCS / Nexus Embrane Extreme Networks Hyper-V IBM SDN-VE Linux Bridge Mellanox Meta Plugin MidoNet Modular Layer 2 Plugin (ML2) NEC OpenFlow nova-network OpenDaylight Nuage Networks One Convergence NVSD OpenContrail or Juniper Open vSwitch PLUMgrid Ruijie Networks VMWare NSX (formerly Nicira NVP)
2. If You choose Modular Layer 2 Plugin (ML2) in the previous question, what mechanism driver(s) are You using? Alcatel-Lucent Omniswitch Arista Big Switch Brocade VDX/VCS Calico Cisco APIC Cisco DFA Cloudbase Hyper-V Freescale SDN Frescale FWaaS Fujitsu Converged Fabric Switch Huawei Agile Controller Linux Bridge Mellanox Mellanox SR-IOV MidoNet Nuage Networks ONOS One Convergence OpenDaylight OpenFlow Agent Open vSwitch OVN SR-IOV Pluribus Tail-F VMWare DVS Other Mechanism Driver
Please let me know if that would be fine for You too. Thx in advance

In this question there are actually mixed core plugins (like old Openvswitch) and ML2 plugin's mechanism drivers (like e.g. ML2-Openvswitch). Those old core plugins which we proposed to remove were removed from Neutron around version (2015.0.0 and 7.0.0 - I don't even remember what OpenStack version it was then). [...]
According to https://releases.openstack.org/ Juno was 2014.2 and Kilo was 2015.1.0 (there was no 2015.0.0), while Liberty was 7.0.0.
If these were all removed by Mitaka and there are very few respondents indicating they're running deployments that old, then it may make sense to clean those options up. If they were still available options for a while after that (merely deprecated) or if there are still a lot of respondents with deployments of that vintage, then it may make more sense to reword those options for clarity, to something like:
"Old/Legacy Openvswitch core plugin (OpenStack Liberty and earlier)"
