Open Stack

[OK, I'll bite...just once more...because dammit I want this crap fixed
too.]

I know you know this Monty, but for the benefit of the folks who don't, the
client library situation is a result of them belonging to the projects they
serve, each one[0] forked from a different one forked from jkm's original,
without having any sort of mechanism to stay in sync, like a cross-project
(BINGO!) effort to keep things consistent.

We may not want a BDFL, but we NEED someone to say NO when necessary for
the sake of the entire project.  Jeez, now I'm sounding all enterprisey.

If thats from apiclient, I have a guess.  apiclient was an attempt (by
someone who got frustrated and left us) to build a common core for the
clients.  However, in many ways wound up being a UNION of them.  And scene.

I'm guessing that what it actually is is that randomly some things

I like that explanation but this isn't from OCL.  Actually we'd have been
much farther down the road if we had used Termie's bits a year ago. Whether
that is a bug or a feature is left to the reader to decide.

Code speaks, sometimes, so I'm going back to writing some more client bits.
 Someone come help.
