I have no problem with supporting FreeBSD as a hypervisor operating system,
especially if there is a solid team on the FreeBSD side that will commit to
maintaining the changes required and adding the necessary CI (especially
ensuring that when it breaks it gets fixed).

However, I see Neutron support as a firm requirement. We've spent a large
amount of time getting closer and closer to deprecating nova-network.
Despite opening it up for limited development again, I don't think we
should be making the transition plan harder by introducing new features
that don't work with Neutron.
