I've wondered about this actually. It seems like the database bindings
in particular have potential to be generally useful by people who
programmatically want to control their vswitch (e.g. xapi, QA, etc).
Once they mature a bit, I wonder if we should consider changing our
policy on this, and start officially supporting them.
