Yes, in the Ussuri cycle a large effort was made to move all the 
networking-ovn code into the Neutron tree, instead of having it be an 
out-of-tree driver [0].

And finally in the Yoga cycle it was made the default for devstack [1].

Since then the two major distros, Ubuntu and Red Hat, have made OVN the 
default in their deployment tools, so going forward it is safe to assume 
it will eventually be in the majority for installations.
