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

Active is a binary state, why would we need a multi-state representation for it?

Active is a binary state, why would we need a multi-state
representation for it?
The way i see it (as a REST API user) active/deactive are states just like up/down.
If i would like to verify the nic active state i would go to the nic state just as simple
as it sound.
I can't see any good reason way defining it different then host state or DataCenter
state or even storage state.
