Hi all:
  I have a question to consult: I see that OVS daemon has
been supported to run as non-root in 2015 with the patch
"lib/daemon: support --user option for all OVS daemon",
I would like to know whether the openvswitch command line
such as ovs-vsctl/ovs-appctl will be called as non-root
in any plan, and is there any consideration for calling
as root at present?

Thanks
