Why? I can simply use ovs_options tag=... for that?

On the other side users can simply create an OVSIntPort management port with vlan,
so we do not need that functionality on the bridge.

No idea how that should work - we would need to modify the bridge ifupdown scripts?

thanks

OK, I will try to improve that.
