Hey Clayton,

Thanks for the feedback.

Could you be more precise on what incompatibility affected you?

The patch that Nikhil linked in his email brings in several
"compatibilities" with v1. I personally think they should be examined
1 by 1 rather than pulling them all in, hence my question.

Switching to python-openstack client must have required some effort
and I'm curious to know why you decided to do that rather than
adapting your scripts to use the v2 cli. Do you have Glance's v2
deployed?

Ideally, I think we should just move to use openstackclient, really.
But glanceclient is what we have now and that's what the Glance team
has focused on the most lately so I'd appreaciate as much feedback as
possible from you and others.

Thanks for your time,
Flavio
