I was planning to make the needed changes in ovn-ctl as a follow-on
patch, thinking that the nb and sb changes would be independent of
the ovn-ctl changes and wanting to defer the possibly controversial
change of no longer starting the nb/sb ovsdb-server with a default
remote (if SSL is desired, security is likely a concern, so having
a default TCP port open with write access to the db would be undesirable).


I could roll it all into a single series if that would be preferable.

Thanks,
