The "methods" modules conflicts with common usage in python

[Adam Young]

IN the V3 Auth, we have put the links of the authenticaion chain into a directory called methods. WHile this may make sense to some, it is greatly confusing to programmers in general.

Possible alternative suggestions are:

Authenticators
Factors

Strategies / Strategy
No directory at all (just leave them in the auth folder, why get needlessly architecty)

FTR, this is the directory being discussed: https://github.com/openstack/keystone/tree/master/keystone/auth/methods

[Malini Bhandaru (malini-k-bhandaru)]

Not factors. how about
"auth_methods" ?

[Dolph Mathews (dolph)]

The goal was to implement pluggable authentication, so why not call them "plugins"?
