[openstack-dev] Should packstack configure host network interfaces?

If you deploy OpenStack with Neutron using Packstack and do something
like this...

    packstack ...  --neutron-ovs-bridge-interfaces=br-eth1:eth1

...packstack will happily add interface eth1 to br-eth1, but will
neither (a) ensure that it is up right now nor (b) ensure that it is
up after a reboot.  This in contrast to Nova networking, which in
general takes care of bringing up the necessary interfaces at runtime.

Should packstack set up the necessary host configuration to ensure
that the interfaces are up?  Or is this the responsibility of the
local administrator?

Thanks,
