They've already been moved from tripleo-ci to tripleo-heat-templates:

We should use the ones for ci, not the examples under
tripleo-heat-templates/network/config. Those examples (especially for
multiple-nics) are meant to be clear and orderly so that users can
easily understand how to adapt them to their own environments.
Especially for multiple-nics, there isn't really a sane default, and I
don't think we should make our examples match what we use in ci.

It may be possible to update ovb so that it deploys virt environments
such that the examples work. That feels like a lot of unecessary churn
though. But even then ci is using mtu:1350, which we don't want in the
examples.

What I'm trying to do in these patches is just use the templates and
environments from tripleo-heat-templates that were copied from
tripleo-ci in 476708. I gathered that was the intent since they were
copied into tripleo-heat-templates. Otherwise, why do we need them
there are at all?
