[ovirt-users] ovirt 4.2.2-rc3 switching from legacy to OVS..

Well, I just hit

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1513991

And it's been closed, which means with vdsm-4.20.17-1.el7.centos.x86_64
  OVS networking is totally borked..

I know OVS is Experimental, but it worked in 4.1.x, and now we have to 
do a step back to legacy bridge just to use 4.2.x, which in a vlan 
environment just wreaks havoc (every VLAN need's a unique mac assigned 
to the bridge, which vdsm does not do, so suddenly you get the kernel 
complaining about seeing it's mac address several times.)

There is zero documentation on how to use OVN instead of OVS.
