We want to deprecate it. There are some things blocking moving forward with this. In short: 1) Feature parity (primarily something that satisfies performance and HA requirements addressed by nova-network in multi-host mode) 2) Testing and quality parity. The status of Neutron testing in the gate is far inferior to the testing done against nova-network. I'm personally more worried about #2 than #1 at this point. A major issue is that very few people actually stepped up and agreed to help with #2 at the summit [2]. Only one person signed up to work on tempest issues. Nobody signed up to help with grenade. If this doesn't happen, nova-network can't be deprecated, IMO. If significant progress isn't made ASAP this cycle, and ideally by mid-cycle so we can change directions if necessary, then we'll have to discuss what next step to take. That may include un-freezing nova-network so that various people holding on to enhancements to nova-network can start submitting them back. It's a last resort, but I consider it on the table.
