Agreed.

Anne, this is why you are a writer and I am not. ;)  I may steal that
list...

What you have listed fits with what I see happening as the Client Tools
adds the SDK projects (#1 and 2).  #3, 5 and 6 are already goals for
OSC[1]; and #4 is what we are here talking about now.

[1] I expect OSC to switch to use the Python OpenStack SDK as it becomes
ready rather than attempt to salvage the existing client libs.
