Open Stack

Hi,

python-neutronclient still has XML support of Neutron API.
I would like to discuss when we drop XML support in neutronclient.

Neutron API XML suppoort was marked as deprecated in Icehouse and Juno
and was dropped in Kilo. Juno is now EOL and we have no gate testing which
requires XML support. This is a minimum requirement.
>From this point, we can drop XML support now.

Another point is users who are OpenStack clouds using Juno or older versions
may use the latest python-neutronclient.
XML support in Neutron was deprecated since Icehouse, and if our deprecation
notice works, XML API is used only in cloud deployed before Icehouse.
In addition, older versions of neutronclient are available from
various distributions and PyPI.
Do we need to continue XML support for users of such cloud?
Note that we no longer have a way to test XML API support is functional.

Thanks,
Akihiro
