The OVN team has had no concrete policy regarding when releases are
made for a given version. In the past, new releases have been made only
when something critical has been found, meaning that most bug fixes
applied to a given OVN version never end up in a release.

This change proposes a monthly release per supported OVN version.

+After the .0 release is created for a given OVN version, that version will have
+releases made every month until its support lifetime has concluded. If for some
+reason, no changes occur to a supported OVN version during a month, then no
+release will be made that month. Therefore, there is no guarantee about the
+exact number of releases to be expected for any given OVN version.
