There was verbal discussion on this and some good points were brought up:
1. this isn't tripleo specific but is common to all kolla containers
2. if HA is properly configured, the HA functionality should take care of this within reason
3. a service can be signaled without restarting the entire container if necessary
4. without neutron being "container aware" there are limits to what can be achieved in the short term

Brought up separately with respect to (2.) is that while failover should handle the normal operational case, operators restarting agents for tweaking and debugging is something that we see often so this would impact them. Perhaps (3.) will sufficiently address this.

It's generally agreed that we need to document the difference with restarting containers vs. services on baremetal and how to adapt practices to containerized deployments. I've filed a bug for this https://bugs.launchpad.net/tripleo/+bug/1750578.
