Since it’s pretty easy to get lost among all the opinions I’d like to
clarify/ask a couple of things:
* Keeping all the clients physically separate/combining them in to a single
library. Two things here:
* In case of combining them, what exact project are we considering? If
this list is limited to core projects like nova and keystone what policy could
we have for other projects to join this list? (Incubation, graduation,
something else?)
* In terms of granularity and easiness of development I’m for keeping
them separate but have them use the same boilerplate code, basically we need a
OpenStack Rest Client Framework which is flexible enough to address all the
needs in an abstract domain agnostic manner. I would assume that combining them
would be an additional organizational burden that every stakeholder would have
to deal with.
Keeping them separate is awesome for *us* but really, really, really sucks for
users trying to use the system.
* Has anyone ever considered an idea of generating a fully functional REST
client automatically based on an API specification (WADL could be used for
that)? Not sure how convenient it would be, it really depends on a particular
implementation, but as an idea it could be at least thought of. Sounds a little
bit crazy though, I recognize it :).

2) major overhaul of client libraries so they are all based off a common base
library. This would cover namespace changes, and possible a push to move CLI
into python-openstackclient
This seems like the biggest win to me.
+1
