Yes, they should honestly just be cut loose in the client trees, and
clients should be encouraged to go the keystoneauth1 / cliff route in
the future.

280 lines of code across 11 clients isn't actually that much code, it's
1% of novaclient. It's not really worth building a new library for
especially because we don't actually want to encourage people to do this
any more.
