yes +1000 to keystoneauth1 + cliff (we can easily make OSC
plugins/extensions this way).

Existing clients using cliutils.py can continue to use their local sync'ed
copies.

I really didn't want to see library for apiclient/* since all the files in
there are marked as deprecated!!

Yes, they should honestly just be cut loose in the client trees, and
clients should be encouraged to go the keystoneauth1 / cliff route in
the future.

280 lines of code across 11 clients isn't actually that much code, it's
1% of novaclient. It's not really worth building a new library for
especially because we don't actually want to encourage people to do this
any more.
