[openstack-dev] [neutron] Ipnetns+rootwrap, two different issues

Hi Eugene, 

   I'd like to ask you to reconsider the -1 on this review:

     a)  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/114928/

   I'm tackling a different issue than Kevin here:

     b) https://review.openstack.org/#/c/109736/

I'm trying to allow general use of the IpNetns wrapper when
namespace=None (which is valid) and root_wraper=None (which is
valid too) to make the external_process module more testable 
without needing to add extra rootwrap rules, and without needing 
to rewrite the ProcessManager for that special case. [1]

Kevin, on his side, is making the code smarter, to guess from 
the system, whether ip netns requires privilege elevation
or not.

Those are different bugs, tackling different issues:

   a) https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1358196

   b) https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1311804 +
      https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1348812


Best regards,
Miguel Ángel.

     namespace=None by default.
