I'm just curious about something. Not saying if we need or do not need
Ryu in Fedora, I notice that Ryu attempts to insert itself between
OpenStack and OpenVSwitch (or actually anything that implements OpenFlow).
What's the purpose of adding the layer, and how is it different from
what Quantum is doing now? There has to be some kind of specific benefit.
