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.
