Both of these should already be supported. Any Nicira extension “move” action 
is encoded to an OpenFlow15 copy_field action on the wire for OpenFlow versions 
1.5 and higher. The textual form you see with ovs-ofctl is still “move” for all 
versions. If you look at the test case “OpenFlow 1.5 action translation” in 
tests/ofp-actions.at <http://ofp-actions.at/>, you’ll see that this is the 
case, if you decipher the OpenFlow encoding there.

Also, I believe we never restricted set-field action to not be able to set the 
metadata field. OVS allows set-field to set any writeable match field. You’ll 
find numerous examples of set_field to the metadata field from the OVS test 
suite.
