On the other hand, we need to define the management network when a host is added to the setup, and nagging for confirmation for each of them may lead us to the blind baboon acking syndrome.
Since I'd like to normalize the way ovirtmgmt is created, and make it more like other networks, I've written up http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Normalized_ovirtmgmt_Initialization
If the Add Host dialog had a checkbox saying "define ovirtmgmt network automatically", would it satisfy you? (any other comment to that feature page is welcome).
1. in general, I like it. iiuc, you don't really need the management network for normal work (engine would connect to host by its fqdn/ip by default). if you do want to set a vlan/bond/SLA/roles/etc - then you just configure it. 2. need to see how to preserve backward compatibility - i.e., bootstrap will probably need to handle this for older engines. 3. iirc, in ovirt-node the bridge is created prior to bootstrap, which wouldn't be needed any more.
