Well, the thing is, I'd like to write some code to actually *remove* the
auth fragments from configuration files openstack-pkg-tools will see,
when that support will actually be removed upstream. Until then, it
isn't nice to do this maintenance work if an admin is using it (despite
the deprecation).

So yes, if we really are to remove it (which again, I'd prefer not to
happen), then I would need a more specific time-frame. No, the actual
message of deprecation isn't helpful enough for me to decide when to
implement the switch, especially considering that it's been 2 cycles
we're seeing it, and no feature removal happened.
