Hi Paul,

Our plan with FWaaS was to get it to parity with LBaaS as far as STF
is concerned. That way any changes to STF can be explored in the
context of all services, and the migration can also be performed for
all services. Accordingly, Gary Duan has been actively working on the
patch:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/60699/

and we hope to get it approved and merged soon.

Thanks,
~Sumit.
