I reckon the netifaces package is only used in Neutron's Ryu plugin.
At a first glance, it should be possible to replace its current usage with
the iplib module which has been developed within neutron itself.

Unless we hear otherwise from contributors to the Ryu plugin it is my
opinion that we should move towards replacing netifaces.
