My main reference was with having the Kilo timeframe in mind. Once, we made
a clear demarcation between the various components, then they can develop
in isolation, which is very valuable IMO.
If enough critical mass gets behind an agent-based solution to control the
networking layer whichever it may be, I would be definitely okay with that,
but I don't think that is what Neutron should be concerned about, but
rather enabling these extra capabilities, the same way Nova does so with
hypervisors.

Cheers,
Armando
