Open Stack

I've got scripts I use nova floating ip subcommands to attach/detach floating ips occasionally because it was easier to write then using the equiv neutron commands even though I'm using neutron. I'd think some folks will be doing the same.

That being said, we'll have to rewrite all that code for the unified openstack client anyway, so the porting effort will have to happen one way or the other anyway. So probably not that big a deal. But probably best in the deprecation notes to point them to the openstack client instead of the neutron client if they are using nova instead of neutron cli for some neutron bits.

Thanks,
Kevin

I think this sounds reasonable. Don't deprecate nova-network, let it be
what it is and look at deprecating the neutron proxying (other than what
occurs during the server create flow).

It doesn't seem helpful at this point to have neutron users call through
nova to do things with neutron.

We could run this idea by for operator feedback to see if there are
issues with it we haven't considered.
