Hi,
I believe we should save the REST API behavior and keep using status object instead of
<active>true</active> for vm nics.
We should use:
<status>
<state>active<state>
</status>
Many rest frameworks works around that <status> object in order to verify element
state and we shouldn't change that behavior.
This is true also for hotplug disk
