Kevin, are you sure that's the case? My understanding is that the restart feature depended on there being a cookie attached to each flow and that flows missing the cookie (all of them from Kilo) would be deleted.

Even if that's true (and it'd be great if it is), many operators are going to have to upgrade to Kilo.1 before going to Liberty because of the Nova DB issue. Since we're still using packages for nova and neutron, there isn't an easy way to upgrade just Nova without upgrading Neutron. Because of that we'll have to at least take one data plane outage when upgrading to Kilo.1 before going to Liberty.

Update: Reading over the patch again, it looks like maybe only flows with cookies are considered eligible to be pruned, so maybe this does help with Liberty upgrades?
