Isn't it breaking stable API/ABI? Should target release be 20.11?
tx_metadata is in union, it should not be ABI break.
And we propose to remove tx_metadata at all in 19.11
and share the dynamic metadata field between Rx and Tx METAdata.
Yes please, let's remove tx_metadata from mbuf now,
while adding metadata dynamic field.
I am sure nobody will complain that we sanitized this feature
before releasing DPDK 19.11 LTS.
OK for me.
