Ah ok I misunderstood - perhaps because V3 is still experimental I have it
in my head that the V3 API is the next major version so was not thinking you
were referring to something beyond that.

So I think that would be a great idea.  I'd love for there to be
a cross project session on APIs. I'm sure the different projects have a lot
to
learn from each other and I think OpenStack as a whole would really benefit
from having
more long term planning for the APIs so we all slowly converge to  be more
consistent
in both implementation and design.
