Expected results:

template overrides to drop or explicit RFE to build bridge-utils in OSP 15

brctl is a hard dependency of os-vif for neutron networking with ml2/ovs and the iptables firewall driver.
https://github.com/openstack/os-vif/blob/master/vif_plug_ovs/linux_net.py#L103-L122
it is also a dependency for os-vif for linuxbridge.
https://github.com/openstack/os-vif/blob/master/vif_plug_linux_bridge/linux_net.py#L126-L128

additionally there are some code paths in nova related to nova networks that also use require brctl.

i have added os-vif to https://bugs.launchpad.net/os-vif/+bug/1801919
we have until feb 27th at the latest to fully remove the dependcy and relase os-vif
ideally we will try and complete this by febuary 22nd.

if it is not completed by the 27th we will need to package bridge-utils for rhel-8
