[openstack-dev] [Neutron] default security group rules in neutron

Greetings

We use neutron as network functionality implementation in nova, and as
you know, there is a feature called 'os-security-group-default-rules'
in nova extension[1], a hook mechanism to add customized rules when
creating default security groups, which is a very useful feature to
the administrators or operators (at least useful to us in our
deployment). But I found this feature is valid only when using
nova-network.

So, for the functionality parity between nova-network and neutron and
for our use case, I registered a blueprint[2] about default security
group rules in Neutron days ago and related neutron spec[3], and I
want it to be involved in Juno, so we can upgrade our deployment that
time for this feature. I'm ready for the code implementation[3].

But I still want to see what's the community's thought about including
this feature in neutron, any of your feedback and comments are
appreciated!
