I thought this is created in the node-core...
Just confirmed.
A node without vdsm plugin also create that bridge.
vdsm has nothing to do with this process as far as I know.

It is not just 'need this code' it is that we cannot use the bridgeless 
solution at enigne.
Options:

1. We need to detect node version and perform bridgeless deployment if node is 
>= x, but we do not know this at engine when we deploy a host... we even do not 
know that it is ovirt-node.

2. I release a new minor version of ovirt-host-deploy that delete the bridge 
regardless of the mode.

3. Engine will be able to delete this bridge just like he is able to create the 
management bridge.

Right, and because of that I think that (3) is the best solution.
