I am thinking it is very difficult to maintain doc string of REST APIs
in tempest-lib because APIs continue changing.
So instead of doing it, how about putting the link of official API
document[1] in tempest-lib and concentrating on maintaining official
API document?
OpenStack APIs are huge now and It doesn't seem smart to maintain
these docs at different places.

[Rockyg] +100 Code documentation should be maintained closest to its implementation and extracted from there, not replicated all over.  Great idea!


Thanks
