Tal, you are correct in theory. Right now there are no comprehensive 
tests of the python clients that prove they work, or that they remain 
compatible with older OpenStack versions. Providing such tests would be 
a huge amount of work that no one has signed on for. The scenario tests 
are using the python client APIs because it is easier for python code to 
do that than use the REST api. That does also provide a kind of smoke 
test for the client libraries. There is a blueprint to run these tests 
against
older versions
