Open Stack

cliff-based client including neutronclient and openstackclient
supports various formatters.
I don't think it is a good idea to depend on the output of 'table' formatter.
My understanding is 'table' formatter (the default formatter) is for
human readability.
IMHO it is better to use json formatter or value formatter if we need
to pick up a returned value.
You can use '-f json' or '-f value -c id' with xxxx-create.

This is the reason I proposed fixes around non-table formatters like
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/255696/ or
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/284088/.

Anyway, it is bad to break devstack :(
