-1 ;)

Why would operators install from devstack? that’s not going to be the case.

I believe we should have both LB & OVS well tested, if LB is a good option for
some operators willing to migrate from nova, that’s great, let’s make sure LB 
is perfectly tested upstream.

But by doing such change we can’t let OVS code rot and we would be neglecting
a big customer base which is now making use of the openvswitch mechanism.
(may be I’m miss understanding  the scope of the change).
