Public bug reported:

A fundamental operation for most OpenStack services is providing
information about what versions of an API are available to clients.  A
version document can be retrieved by sending an unauthenticated GET
request to the root URL ("/") for most services, including Neutron.
This capability is important for discovery in that clients can learn how
to interact with the cloud in question, and DefCore considers it an
important capability for interoperability and has added similar
capabilities to it's Guidelines for other services.[1][2]  As Neutron
moves toward microversioning [3], being able to retrieve a version
document will be increasingly important for clients.  However, there are
currently no tests for GET /, so DefCore cannot make this a required
Capability.  We should a simple smoke test or two for GET /.
