Provide rationale to get-me-a-network

[Armando Migliaccio]

TL;DR:

Documentation [1] does not provide rationale behind feature as documented in [1]

Thanks Armando, adding a rationale would be a nice touch and the post listed tells it!

Hi Armando,

Due to my extremely bad knowledge of neutron, I am unsure where in the email thread exists the rationale you would like to be transcribed into the documentation?

Cheers,

Alex

Alex,

I think the gist of the rationale is in [1]. But I can take care of this bug if you like. Please, feel free to assign to me.

Thanks,
Armando
