My understanding (and hope) is that ultimately there will be a
separation between shell interfaces and REST interfaces.
Openstackclient will implement the commandline, and the other clients
(python-novaclient, python-glanceclient, etc.) will provide python APIs
for REST clients, of which openstackclient is one.

I expect non-common shell clients to be deprecated and eventually ripped
out. We're probably a bit too early in the game to explicitly
discourage development on those shell commands though.
