I don't think this is a good rule of thumb...

When the point of the example is to illustrate configuring nova, the
example should stay with the nova code, even if it uses novaclient or
osc.  The examples that are about _using_ novaclient or osc belong in
those repos, but where they are just a means to configuring something
in nova, they should remain with nova and use the tools that users are
expected to be familiar with (novaclient and/or osc in this example).

If I find a doc that tells me how to set up a VM with a Neutron
network and ports and subnets and floating IPs that uses curl, I'm not
reading farther.
