Hi Salvatore, Thanks for bringing this up. We do have plans for supporting L3 API extensions in Grizzly. The blueprint was created earlier and work is currently under way to submit a patch: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/quantum/+spec/quantum-floodlight-bigswitch-l3
That said, I don't have any objections with your suggestion of postponing moving L3 apis into Quantum core to the next release. Thanks, ~Sumit.
