Hi,

I'm a neutron packager for redhat based distros.

AFAIK the main reason is to avoid installing lots of plugins to
systems that are not going to use them. No one really spent too much
time going file by file and determining internal interdependencies.

In your case, I would move those Brocade specific ML2 files to Brocade
plugin package. I would suggest to report the bug in Red Hat bugzilla.
I think this won't get the highest priority, but once packagers will
have spare cycles, this can be fixed.

Cheers,
