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.
