This all seems like a lot of work for something that will probably  
only occur in testing environments (where people will likely be  
monitoring all the config files).  I would be more concerned if we  
weren't going to be leaving all of these configuration file headaches  
behind us in the next Open vSwitch release when we (hopefully) move to  
some soft of lightweight database.
