I agree that it seems reasonable to have the default exclude the .0
address.

When using melange, the nova DB is not used to store IP address
allocations.  They are stored in Melange.  We allow network create using
nova-manage purely for backward compatibility.  The underlying
implementation is totally different, with Nova effectively acting as a
client to proxy calls to Quantum + Melange.  Hope that helps.
