Right, hence glance was added https://review.openstack.org/55998 to
unblock the previous gate failure.
Issue now is that stable/grizzly Tempest uses clients from git trunk,
which is not going to work since trunk will add more and more
incompatible dependencies, even if backward compatbility is preserved
against the old service APIs!

Solutions could be that Tempest installs clients into separate venv to
avoid dependecy conflicts or establish stable/* branches for
clients[1] which are created around OpenStack release time.

[1] we have those for openstack client packages in Fedora/RDO
     e.g. https://github.com/redhat-openstack/python-novaclient/branches
     Here's nice explanation by Jakub: http://openstack.redhat.com/Clients
