Hi Giles ,
Impressive !
For completeness : following features are missing in your list :
* Extra DHCP options support (Nuage Networks) (CLOUDSTACK-9776)
* Physical network migration (CLOUDSTACK-10024) , better take it separate as this is generic development
* Nuage VSP 5.0 support and caching of NuageVsp ID's (CLOUDSTACK-10053)
