    Hi,
    
    I checked it a bit deeper and it seems for me that method add_manager, which is
    in [1] is not used at all.
    In the past it was used by function "enable_connection_uri" from
    neutron.agent.ovsdb.native.helpers module but commit [2] switched it to use
    helper function from ovsdbapp.
    So I think that this is simply bug in Neutron which we need to fix. I opened bug
    for it [3].

Honestly, I'm not sure if that code path is used.
