Why would including the software switching tool be bad? Even if both connected devices are set as hosts, there won't be any hardware damage. (USB OTG is fairly resilient...)

Honestly, USB host mode is one of the reasons I purchased the n810. Something like the USB statusbar plug-in should be included in the OS.

Sh**! I had to patch my kernel to get USB host mode working. (see bug #3026)

this kind of thing should be built-in.

Just my two cents,
