Thanks for the patch! Installed on my host that doesn't use fabrics (frr is disabled and not running), and when applying the network configuration, frr is not enabled.
When applying my SDN configuration (that only uses Simple Zones, no fabrics), frr is not enabled either.

I haven't tested on a setup *with* fabrics, though.
