This is something I have been working on internally as well. I've been
trying to find a way to make the changes to the python neutronclient in the
least invasive way to support pluggable authentication. I would be happy to
help review the changes you submit upstream if you have something already
well-tested.

>Would you benefit from pluggable auth?

Yes.

Parity with the nova client.

>Would you benefit from the python-neutronclient getting nova's auth
capabilities?

Yes

I have a similar constraint with waiting for the move to OSC/SDK. Even if
the support for auth was merged into OSC/SDK, it wouldn't work with
existing scripts and (more importantly) existing Icehouse/Juno Nova
deployments that use the neutron client for the notifications to Neutron.
