Yes, as Sean commented, there are some inconsistencies in Neutron API.
None has several meanings depending on the context :-(
* None is an actual value of an attribute (e.g., "gateway_ip" of subnet)
* Sending None in API clears the attribute (e.g., "session_
* Sending None in API has the same meaning of sending an empty list/dict
We need to have a consistent way when we discuss a new version of API,
but it is what we have now.
In IPv6 attribute case, there are several ways to handle this bug:
- to have more detail documentation on what operations are allowed (and not to change the current behavior)
- to disallow updating IPv6 modes completely
- to add a way to clear IPv6 modes (the proposed patch tries to do this)
