Example: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/185141/
This change was made while the nova 12.0.0 Liberty release was in development. The current version of python-novaclient at the time was 2.25.0. Once the change was merged, python-novaclient 2.26.0 was released. Since there was less than six months before 12.0.0 would be released, the deprecation cycle ran through the 13.0.0 nova server release.
