Thanks for setting it up, somehow it really helped me.
Looking at a 200-page separate book, even though it's fairly simple to
maintain, it seems like it fits better in the End User Guide. Then again it
means 170+ extra pages in both the End User Guide and Admin Guide, so I can
be convinced either way (appendix or separate book). Right now I'm leaning
towards keeping it as an appendix and continuously publishing it with the
End User Guide.

I think that users tend to install the CLI via pip install (that's what we
see at Rackspace and I've also talked to private cloud users). So to me,
they install any given day, not just from a packaged version.

Hope to hear more from others.
