That is what all other projects are doing, for example: These are the old project-specific CLIs, note that the 'keystone' command only supports v2 auth today and will be removed entirely in the keystoneclient 2.0 release. $ keystone user-create $ heat event-list This will create a separate namespace for the project and also will solve the issue of `openstack messaging message post`. One of the things I have tried very hard to do is make it so users do NOT need to know which API handles a given command. For higher-layer projects that is less of a concern I suppose, and that was done long before anyone thought that 20+ APIs would be handled in a single command set.
I agree very strongly with this goal. We've done the same thing with the new ansible modules. (os_server vs. nova_compute) It becomes especially important when there are things that are the same but handled by different services. Should the user know/care that in cloud A they get a floating IP from nova but in cloud B they get it from neutron? Nope. That's a mess in our yard - the user shouldn't need to know.
Namespacing has come up and is something we need to discuss further, either within the 'openstack' command itself or by using additional top-level command names. This is one of the topics for discussion in Tokyo, but has already started on the ML for those that will not be present. No matter how we end up handling the namespacing issue, I will still strongly insist that project code names not be used. I know some plugins already do this today and we can't stop anyone else from doing it, but it leads to the same sort of inconsistency for users that the original project CLIs had. It reduces the value of a single (or small set of) CLI for the user to deal with.
FWIW - in the ansible modules we adopted a general naming policy of non-service names for things that end-users want to interact with (server, floating-ip) because they are not deployers and they should care.
For admin things "create keystone domain" "create nova flavor" we have the service name in - partially because of the namespacing problem, but also because an _admin_ is administering a service called "nova" - they are not consuming a service that might be provided by nova ... they can be expected to know.
So we have: os_nova_flavor and will soon have os_keystone_domain but os_image and os_subnet.
