Once I have the token from Keystone, I’ll be talking directly to the services. So either something goes wrong with Keystone and I get no token or I get a token and talk directly to a service. Either way a client knows who it's talking to.

I suppose one possible case outside of that is token revocation. If I’m talking to a service and the token gets revoked, does the error originate in Keystone? I’m not really sure.
