The guide covers Linux bridge and OVS. Therefore, at minimum, we would need
to add a minimum of two hybrid scenarios. However, they wouldn't cover L3
HA or DVR which also support attaching VMs to public networks.

As for public/external overlays... I don't think we should include anything
that varies by vendor.
