  Yeah, but when we talking about the support of v3 for Nova Cinder and
Neutron. I think it's mostly about the auth token middleware and CLI
support of the client library.

   I wonder is it worth to enable v3 for CLI when we moving to
openstackclient  so that  OpenStack users and operators can test and
evaluate v3 API , and we may probably add a v3 test gate to CI. what we
face is that   user can use v3 API with novaclient CLI, this has been asked
many times in the OpenStack user mailing list.
