We could - and I agree with you ... but there is actually not work that 
needs to be done in all of the projects. To support this from the 
openstack side - we mostly need to land a patch to keystoneauth. (patch 
already written) I will go check the other clientlibs, but I'm pretty 
sure everyone has been updated to use keystoneauth at this point- except 
swiftclient, but there is a patch up already to handle that. (also, nova 
is working on consuming services via the catalog, but that patch is also 
in flight and that work already has a local version of this done)

We also want to add support both for consuming this and testing it in 
tempest - but that probably wants a deeper conversation with the tempest 
team about the right way to do it.

In any case - I think the hardest part is ensuring consensus that it's a 
good path forward, and a few logisitical concerns Sean and Morgan 
brought up over in the service-types-authority and keystoneauth repos. 
Once we find agreement, I can basically have this implemented on the 
consume side in OpenStack in a few days.

That's a super long response - sorry - I ramble. I'd be more than happy 
to make it a cross-project goal if we think that's the right way to get 
it done - but I worry that if we do it'll steal a valuable slot since 
there's not much of an ask from the projects on this one.
