Hi,
A customer (OVS) explicitly and specifically requested backporting the
symbol change to 19.11, as they don't want to enable experimental APIs
in their releases. I replied that it would only be acceptable with
aliasing to keep compatibility, and Ferruh very kindly did the work to
implement that.
