[openstack-dev] [cinder][openstackclient] Required name option for volumes, snapshots and backups

All,

Just to document the discussion we had during the OSC IRC meeting last
week: I believe the consensus we reached was that it wasn't appropriate to
pretend "volume" before all Cinder commands but that it would be
appropriate to move in that direction to for any commands that may be
ambiguous like "snapshot". The cinder core development team will start
working with the OSC development teams to address such commands and move
them to more user friendly commands and as we move forward we will work to
avoid such confusion in the future.
