Alex,

os-interface will be deprecated, that's the APIs to show/list ports for 
a given server.

os-virtual-interfaces is not the same, and was never a proxy for neutron 
since before 2.32 we never stored anything in the virtual_interfaces 
table in the nova database for neutron, but now we do because that's 
where we store the VIF tags.

We have to keep os-attach-interface (attach/detach interface actions on 
a server).

Are you suggesting we drop os-virtual-interfaces and change the behavior 
of os-interfaces to use the nova virtual_interfaces table rather than 
proxying to neutron?

Note that with os-virtual-interfaces even if we start showing VIFs for 
neutron ports, any ports created before Newton won't be in there, which 
might be a bit confusing.
