Not really in the telemetry roadmap honestly.

We barely use it in Gnocchi, it could be easy to switch to something fancier. Back then, we just picked PrettyTable because every other project was using it and it was good enough for a quick CLI. > We could justify moving cliff, since it makes it easy to produce > more parsable output using selectable formatters, but some of those > other consuming projects may be a bit harder to change if we want > to maintain our backwards compatibility requirements. I think that's a good idea, gnocchiclient and aodhclient already rely on cliff for example, and ceilometerclient should switch at some point. > There are a few libraries on the list, too (automaton, ironic-lib), and > that's confusing.
