No, no. Most OpenStack deployments are neutron based with ovs because its the 
default these days.

There are all sorts of warnings to folks for years saying if you start with 
nova-network, there will be pain for you later. Hopefully, that has scared away 
most new folks from doing it. Most of the existing folks are there because they 
started before Neutron was up to speed. Thats a different problem.

So I would expect the number of folks needing to go from nova-network to 
neutron to be a small number of clouds, not a big number. Changing the defaults 
now to favor that small minority of clouds, seems like an odd choice.

Really, I don't think finding the right solution to migrate those still using 
nova-network to neutron has anything to do with what the default out of the box 
experience for new clouds should be...

Having linuxbridge be the default for folks moving from nova-network to neutron 
might make much more sense then saying everyone should by default get 
linuxbridge.

Thanks,
Kevin

Looking at the latest user survey, OVS looks to be 3 times as popular as
Linux bridge for production deployments. Having LB as the default seems
like an odd choice. You also wouldn't want to change the default before
LB is tested at the gate.

Simple things need to be simple to accomplish, and defaults MUST be simple to 
use.

LB's support requirements are very simple compared to OVS.  This is an 
achievable first step away from nova-net and once conquered the second step 
becomes less overwhelming.  Look at the success of swallowing the entire 
elephant at once that we've seen in the last $TOO_MANY years.
