If you ask me the same question twice, it should not surprise you that
you get the same answer both times.

You could do far more.  You choose not to.

I am not the developer of the CentOS network scripts.  I have no more
insight into what they are doing than you do.

The warning does not come from Open vSwitch, which never produces
error messages of this form.  It comes from some tool that the CentOS
network scripts run.  I do not see any such calls in the sh -vx
output.  You need to look closer, at the programs that run inside that
output.  One of them is calling such a tool.

Yet, you are the only one who reports this problem.

It's not my problem, it's yours.  If you expect others to solve your
problems for you, then you are likely to be very disappointed at some
point.  Maybe that point has arrived.
