Since fedora has openvswitch packages available I wonder

For instance, I've added systemd units to better integrate

Provide native systemd unit files and fix startup dependency

The ovsdbmonitor package is now optional (dependency issues).
You can propose changes to the spec using bugzilla anyway.
Since the spec file is open and available in the internet,
can we drop it and its source files from the openvswitch
git repo?
I think that the main purpose of the in-tree Fedora packaging is to
provide a convenience to Fedora users. If the packaging doesn't
actually help Fedora users, then I agree that removing it seems like a
good idea.
Do any other Fedora users have opinions to share?
I like the convenience of being able to build packages from any revision
of the source code. It's useful in cases when I want to install the
same revision of OVS on several machines in a testbed. Additionally it
comes in handy if I want to create new OVS packages on older Fedora
releases.
Flavio, it would be nice if you could contribute your changes to the
spec files back to the ovs-dev mailing list (I saw in another thread
that you have an updated spec file for 2.0).
