Heh we just moved them but I'm open to other suggestions - they are are
specific to API testing though aren't they? Long term the idea is that
they should be generated by Nova rather than tempest.  I think to
prevent unintentional changes we'd probably cache a copy in tempest
though rather than dynamically query them.

My feeling at the moment is that they should  .py files.
Because I think there's cases where we will want to have some schema
definitions based on others or share common parts and use bits of
python code to achieve this. For example availability zone list and
detailed listing  have a lot in common (detailed listing just has
a more parameters). I think there'll be similar cases for v2 and v3
versions as well.  While we're still manually generating them and
keeping them up to date I think it's worth sharing as much as we can.

I agree there's a lot of commonality and we should long term just have
one schema definition. There's quite a bit to discuss (eg level of
strictness is currently different) in this area and a summit session
about it would be very useful.
