Hey Maximilian, please read what I wrote in here for some context [1]

Long story short, nobody is working on this (as far as I know) on the EVPN driver side, and there is no (current) plans to move the EVPN driver to use NB DB. The idea is to have the BGP driver using the NB DB, and also having the option to expose on different VRFs (1 per provider network, instead of one per cr-lrp ports as in the EVPN driver)

Question is, would that be sufficient for your use case? If that is so, perhaps worth to join efforts on the BGP driver (NB DB) to add this support. If not the case, then for sure go ahead with the PoC for the EVPN driver!

In fact, it is even ok to have both (not sure how much work it is though), but if you already have the EVPN modifications more or less ready, nothing block us adding this support to EVPN driver, and also adding it to the BGP driver as use cases can be slightly different I suppose
