python-novaclient[0] is the client for Nova that we maintain
ourselves. It is a fork of jacobian's python-cloudservers.

python-openstack.compute is jacobian's new branch of python-cloudservers.

I wonder if there's any point in having two distinct, but very similar
libraries to do same thing. If not, how do we move forward?

Yielding to jacobian (or someone else external to the project) helps
keep us honest, since someone outside the project would look at the
API docs to extend their client tools, and will hopefully point out if
there's divergence between the API docs and the actual exposed API.

However, we need client tools to exercise new features exposed in the
API, so I'm not sure we can reasonably live without a set of tools
that we maintain ourselves to expose all the new functionality.

Thoughts?
