It seems the correct url of discussion about `vyos.vyos` is [Unmaintained collection: vyos.vyos](http://forum.ansible.com/t/unmaintained-collection-vyos-vyos/6244).

Thanks @akira6592 for spotting this! The discussion links for `vyos.vyos` and `openvswitch.openvswitch` were switched. It should now be fixed!
