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.
