I think that Sean explained in the commit message of
https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-vif/+/612534/ why it defaults to
False. And as it is os-vif's setting we can't do it "conditional" as os-vif
don't knows about Neutron backend which is used really.
So IMO deployment tools should maybe default this setting to True when ML2/OVS
is used really.
