Because there were no unified OpenStack client when I started the development.

The first commit of openstacksdk was on Jan 22, 2014[1]. Yakumo was
originally named "osclient2"[2] and it had the previous version named
"osclient"[3]. The first commit of osclient was on Jul 4, 2013[4].
Moreover, it had another original idea on Jan 17, 2013[5]. The name,
repository and design were altered twice but its basic concept wasn't.
