Actually, maybe we can do without the overhead, which would also avoid
the need for making the connection in scan_datastores() optional. In
activate_storage(), we could do

if there is a namespace in scfg
  assert_namespace_exists
else
  assert_datastore_exists

because for a nonexistent datastore, the API call querying the
namespaces will still fail with a nice "no such datastore 'nonexistent'"
error, so we'd still catch that without making two API calls.

Not sure if we should even add additional checks in the on_{add,update}
then.

What do you (or other devs) think?
