I will try to join for this discussion, but one point on this for anyone else
attending: please take the time before this discussion to try out a recent
version of OSC. At the moment, our focus is on switching the underlying library
used in OSC compute-related commands from novaclient to SDK and we plan to do
the same for cinder next. We're doing this because afaict, there aren't any
significant CLI gaps left for most of the core services. My understanding of the
feature parity situation is as follows:

 * neutronclient ✅ full feature parity since...a long time ago
    - Kudos, neutron team, for your long-term investment here
 * novaclient ✅ full feature parity  since 5.5.0
    - We finally introduced a proper '--block-device' option for 'server create' in
      5.5.0, which closed our remaining RFE. There have been bugfixes since but
      it's feature complete, if not bug free.
 * cinderclient ✅ (effectively) full feature parity
    - The only remaining gap that I'm aware of is for configurable filters and
      volume service clusters. There are patches open for
      these here and here respectively that we simply need to merge to complete
      this, but it's consider low-ish priority
 * glanceclient ⍰ not sure, as I've yet to investigate this. I suspect there are
   a few gaps here.
 * keystoneclient ⍰ not sure, as I've yet to investigate this. I suspect we're
   very close if not there already though.

So in summary, I don't think the OSC problem that has existed historically is
still a real thing. If there are gaps that I'm not aware of, please be sure to
communicate them here or on the Etherpad so we can track them and encourage
people (future students, other contributors) to close them.
