While I agree that it shouldn't -- and probably can't, nor won't --
exist only one Hydra client, I do think it's crucial for Hydra's
success to provide one reference implementation that covers most, if
not all of Hydra's functionality, so it's easy for server implementers
to write Hydra-compliant APIs.

On the opposite side, I think it's important to have a full-blown
Hydra-compliant server API as well, so client implementers have
something they can exercise their clients against.

On top of this, there should be automated test suites that can be
executed against both client and API implementations, so it's easy for
implementers to figure out where their implementations are lacking.
