The so called multivendor work is dependent now on the "flavors"
framework.  Patches were presented in the Icehouse release to enable
multivendor support using the service-type-framework, however there
were concerns on the use of that framework, and hence those patches
were not approved in time.

A patch was presented in FWaaS to address the router/service insertion
issue, however that was blocked as well.

With the new blueprint process in place, the process on all of the
above patches has pretty much been reset.

Thanks,
~Sumit.
