Ferruh,

I think I should move spp_vf features to spp.py. We started to develop 
spp_vf as an experimental project independently, but it is merged SPP repo.

As you mentioned, spp_vf.py has features only for spp_vf, however I 
think it can be moved to spp.py as an extension or plugin to not lose 
usability. I'd like to consider it.

Thanks,
Yasufumi
