Since nobody else has commented, I'll put in my two cents (though I
might be overcharging you ;-).  I've also added the TripleO tag to the
subject, although with Summit coming up I don't know if that will help.

Anyway, if the bug you're referring to is the one I think, then our
issue was just with the flows not existing.  I don't think we care
whether they get reprogrammed on agent restart or not as long as they
somehow come into existence at some point.

It's possible I'm wrong about that, and probably the best person to talk
to would be Robert Collins since I think he's the one who actually
tracked down the problem in the first place.
