Am I understanding correctly that the Openstack community decided to focus on the unified client, and to deprecate the individual clients, and that the Glance team did not agree with this decision, and that the Glance team is now having a pissing match with the rest of the community, and is unilaterally deciding to continue developing the Glance client and refusing to work on the unified client, or is something different going on? I would ask everyone involved to remember that we operators are down here, and the yellow rain falling on our heads does not smell very good.

I definitely would not characterize it that way.

With trying not to put too much personal bias into it, here's what I would say the situation is:

- Some part of the community has said OSC should be the only CLI and that individual CLIs should go away
- Glance is a very small team with very, very limited resources
- The OSC team is a very small team with very, very limited resources
- CLI capabilities need to be exposed for Glance changes and the easiest way to get them out for the is by updating the Glance CLI
- No one from the OSC team has been able to proactively help to make sure these changes make it into the OSC client (see bullet 3)
- There exists a sizable functionality gap between per-project CLIs and what OSC provides, and although a few people have done a lot of great work to close that gap, there is still a lot to be done and does not appear the gap will close at any point in the near future based on the current trends
