If the DB schema has to change, we could install VIEWs into postgres
to replicate any of the old tables or data types. I do have concerns
about things like the portability of the inet data type, which is
very useful - not insurmountable I hope.

Also, we could keep much of the API which exists in netdisco.pm in
case scripts are loading that, and use DBIx::Class just within those
subroutines, as a back-compat layer.
