The nova client CLI (or any other CLI, for that matter) would then just provide the command line input parsing and output presentation. It's been a while since I was involved with that project, but it seems that decoupling the command line interface from the Python API wrapper would make testing much, much easier.

Right, I think to some degree novaclient is legacy code, and we should
focus on specific regressions and bugs without doing to much code change.

The future should be more focussed on openstacksdk and openstackclient.
