Hi all,

We recently release python-glanceclient 1.0.0 and it has the default
shell version as v2. This may result into some scripts not detecting the
change by default and discomfort to an extent.

So, I am reaching out to this list with the hope of getting some
feedback on the requirements, pros and cons you all think exist for
adding some support for v1 like calls as hidden command to the default
python-glanceclient shell API that is v2 centric by default. This should
unbreak the scripts to an extent and give a warning to users to update
the scripts in a stipulated time period so that they use the v2 API.

Here's the proposed patch https://review.openstack.org/#/c/219802/ . We
are not yet sure if we need to get it merged by tomorrow so that it can
be in stable/liberty by the end of the week. There has been one request
to get those in and the feedback we received from the developer
community was neutral.

In order to form an opinion on what's best for our users, we need some
feedback on this topic. Please send us your thoughts as soon as possible
and we will try to accommodate the same if permissible within the
technical limitations:

1. Whether you would like these commands added as hidden commands so
that shell API works like before (to extent possible).
2. You would like to use v2 shell API of the client by default and don't
care about this commit.
3. You don't care about the change. Your scripts are awesome and can
adjust to the upgrade of the client easily.
4. Anything else.
