Yeah, my understanding is that osc will never "properly" support
microversions. Openstacksdk is the future in that sense, and my
understanding is that the osc team is "porting" osc to use the sdk.
Given these two thing, when we (Nova) talked about this with the osc
folks, we decided that rather than catch up osc to python-novaclient,
we'd rather focus our efforts on the sdk. I've been slowly doing that
[1], starting with the earlier Nova microversions. The eventual long
term goal is for the Nova team to *only* support the sdk, and drop
python-novaclient entirely, but that's a long time away.
