What I meant by 'private' is whether these namespace prefixes are
every used by anything *other* than the OpenStack Neutron DVR; if
so then we should avoid collecting them by default unless we
already know that we're running on an appropriate system.

The Neutron plugin is currently one of the few that doesn't
implement file or package checks before enabling the plugin;
I'll look at adding a package check before we merge this patch so
we only attempt this collection on Neutron hosts.

Bryn.
