Hi Ben, I see one advantage for OpenStack Tripleo + OVN integration in having this feature supported as expiremental in OVS 2.9. Once we have OVS 2.9 availalbe in RDO packages we could work on integrating this feature (as optional) during OVN deployments. The scope of this work would be to start OVN db services with clustering enabled and configuring it. The next OpenStack release is Queens and is under development, but we are already late for new features so it is fine. The release after Queens is Rocky and it will be easier to integrate clustered ovsdb feature with Rocky release if we have it in OVS 2.9.
