Sure, but that does not necessarily means the you need to depend on syslog.
A reasonable behavior is to simple log  messages to the console if syslog 
fails (using LOG_CONS for openlog in lib/vlog.c).

I don't really get that. The standard bridge can use dhcp without any problems 
at
boot time, so why is a OVS bridge different?
