recently released keystoneauth 3.1.0 has a new 'none' auth plugin that can
be used for standalone mode together with endpoint_override Adapter option
instead of 'admin_token' auth plugin [1]. Maybe that would allow you to
simplify the code a bit. Note that the bump to ironicclient reguirements re
keystoneauth is not merged yet [2].

There are actually more reasons for a major version  bump - we've reached
feature parity of our OSC plugin with 'ironic' CLI and should start to
phase the latter out (and drop OSC from hard client requirements).
So I'd vote for las minor version release with many deprecations warnings,
and clean up HTTPClient and officially deprecate 'ironic' CLI in the next
release that would be a major version bump.
