Ok - yeah, I'm not sure what the history behind that is either...

I'm mainly curious if that's something we can/should keep or if we are
opposed to dropping 'os' and 'api' from the convention (e.g.
load-balancer:loadbalancer:post as opposed to
os_load-balancer_api:loadbalancer:post) and just sticking with the
service-type?
