Is there any reason not to make setting the flow label on by default?
We've been doing this for TCP for quite a while now and it's not
breaking the network.

Alce,
Is there any reason not to always set the flow label or at least make
setting the flow label be the default? We've been doing this for TCP
for quite a while now and it's not breaking the network, and we're
already setting the UDP source port with flow entropy in VXLAN anyway.
