Hi,

I would like to propose this spec for an exception:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/95328/

The original idea was to add FreeBSD support for the network driver
(linux_net) so it was possible to run Nova on FreeBSD with libvirt/qemu
driver.

The preparation for that would require linux_net refactoring. So while
it's probably too late to aim for FreeBSD network support in Juno, I
think it would be good to refactor linux_net in Juno to make it more
readable, modular and maintainable. And the FreeBSD support could be
added later in Kilo. More details on the need of linux_net refactoring
are available in the spec itself.
