I don't think that anyone is saying that cloud admins are going to be forced to deploy and maintain an external SDN controller. There are plenty of deployment examples where people are just happy with network virtualization the way Neutron has been providing for years and we should not regress on that. To me it's mostly a matter of responsibilities of who develops what, and what that what is :) The consumption model is totally a different matter.
