By 'recently' - whether you mean patch v4 http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2016-June/072700.html
or you used OVS 2.5 itself (which I think includes v2 of the same patch series)?

So in general - I am a bit confused about conntrack support in OVS.

OVS 2.5 release notes http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/announce/2016-February/000081.html state:
"This release includes the highly anticipated support for connection tracking in the Linux kernel.  This feature makes it possible to implement stateful firewalls and will be the basis for future stateful features such as NAT and load-balancing.  Work is underway to bring connection tracking to the userspace datapath (used by DPDK) and the port to Hyper-V."  - in the way that 'work is underway' (=work is ongoing) means that a time of OVS 2.5 release the feature was not 'classified' as ready?
 

BR, 
Konstantin
