I'm asking to NOT remove the feature provided by AVAILABLE_REGIONS which
is what you described: support for multiple keystone endpoint (or
OpenStack installations) in one Horizon installation.

I'm not suggesting token sharing. I'm merely trying to explain that
AVAILABLE_REGIONS answers a different need than "multi-regions in the
same keystone endpoint" which Horizon already supports fine.

Those are 2 features answering different needs and "AVAILABLE_REGIONS"
shouldn't be removed as suggested previously: "we might consider
deprecating AVAILABLE_REGIONS in Horizon".
