Patch Set 1:

 > 
 > This change will break building against older libosmocore versions

 > older libraries.
 > 
 > We have to stop breaking API compatibility all the time for no good
 > reason.  I don't think this is one.

One could argue that this patch can then be merged at some point in the future when we add/modify a new API required for osmo-bts/bsc.

I'm not really for or against merging it, but I think it's confusing having an API to get names for availability and operational state but having none for administrative ones, so I bet I won't be the last one losing time with this kind of confusions.
