[Pulp-dev] Pulp3 MVP Refinement Next Steps

[David Davis]

This is essentially what foreman and katello do, and it works great. They
get an json export of the REST API structure from the server and then map
each endpoint to a command and the parameters to options. One can still
override the default functionality for each command (or add extra commands)
but for most commands, there isn't any code required.
