Briefly discussed about this issue is qa-meeting...

MoM:

Though its part of devstack, it's a legacy thing and it appears not integrated with CI.
Code may have deprecated CLI, removed CLI as well..

Primarily, we have to discuss if it's redundant and if tempest or test suites serves the purpose of exercise and if so we could perhaps purge from repository and subsequent releases.

Well, if there is specific use-case and traction it could be fixed and continue to maintain.
