I don't really know the rules/philosophies/history with incubation projects
and dependencies and what it takes or means to be "mature" (or if really
matters anymore with ODL). However I don't think we shouldn't let
bureaucracy impede progress so I'm fine with the dependency. We should be
able to  freely use infrautils - prior to it we used yangtools as a kind of
dumping ground for generic components (that had nothing to do with yang)
b/c we had no where else to put them. infrautils *should* serve that
purpose now. But if it's a showstopper then the
proposed DatastoreStatusMonitor could actually reside anywhere since it
just uses JMX.
