Comment 5 for bug 1371878

Yes, I am aware that OVS and Linuxbridge "plugins" will be deprecated in
favor of ML2.

Both have their own config files. The config files contains section for
the plugin part and the agent part.

What I anticipated will happen when OVS plugin is eventually removed, its
that the ovs_neutron_plugin.ini will just be renamed (to something like
ovs_neutron_agent.ini), with the "ovs plugin" specific sections removed.
And the same would go for linux bridge.

And I would anticipate that all supported ML2 agents will have it's own
config files. (i.e. neutron_lb_agent --config-file=lb_neutron_agent.ini;
 and neutron_ovs_agent --config-file=ovs_neutron_agent.ini); rather than
being lumped inside ml2-conf.ini.

The ML2 mechanism (config by ml2-conf.ini) is specific to the plugin.
 ml2-conf.ini as is right now - without being manually migrating the
configs from ovs_neutron_plugin.ini, does absolutely nothing to the agent.

(Not to mention, the Ubuntu apt-get repo is still calling the service
 "neutron-plugin-openvswitch-agent" which make sense that it is configured
by ovs_neutron_plugin.ini)
