Hi Sven,

I don't think this will break anything but in order to have vxlan
support the vxlan package
(https://git.lede-project.org/?p=source.git;a=commit;h=452f5446b88c15827300fa97ddfc784cc9fab12c)
also needs to be backported to lede-17.01.
To keep the lede-17.01 branch stable we're conservative about what we
backport; backporting bugfixes is not an issue but backporting
features is another matter.
It would be interesting to hear the opinion of other Lede developers
about the idea of backporting features to lede-17.01
