Right -- the trick is what does "supported" mean in that case.

When the client libraries were first established as separate
deliverables, they came up with a blanket statement that the latest
version could always be used with *any* version of openstack you may
have. The idea being, if some public cloud was still stuck in pre-diablo
times, you could still use the same library to address both this public
cloud and the one which was 2 weeks behind Havana HEAD.
