To clarify a bit, while deprecated, nova-network has not lost any
functionality in Havana yet.  It also hasn't gained much (if any), but it
still works.  The majority of the testing is performed using nova-network
and not neutron (yet).

I am not aware of any effort to do a migration from nova-network to
neutron, we certainly don't have it in grenade's near future.  The
differences are large and the development cost for that sort of migration
is significant for something that a given deployment is only going to use
once.  It isn't a technical problem but a resource problem.

Also, FWIW, I don't see another one of these situations coming anytime
soon.  All of the new project activity is around new services/features.
