+         The current implementation of OpenFlow 1.4 support is not safe:
+         <code>ovs-vswitchd</code> will abort when certain unimplemented
+         features are tested.  Thus, for now it is suitable only for
+         experimental use.  For this reason, OpenFlow 1.4 is supported only
+         if, in addition to specifying <code>OpenFlow14</code> in this field,
+         <code>ovs-vswitchd</code> is invoked with the
+         <code>--enable-of14</code> option.  (When support becomes safe, this
+         option will be removed.)
