Hello from kubeclient, kubernetes-client 👋

Hi, I was happy to discover a 3rd ruby client besides https://github.com/abonas/kubeclient and https://github.com/kubernetes-client. You have great momentum 👏

I wanted to reach out to ask if you see aspects on which we should collaborate.

Specifically, I feel it could be nice to extract the best parts of parsing kubeconfig and obtaining auth to a separate gem, and get all 3 client gem to use it.

• This functionality requires catch-up to the reference Go implementation...
• The interfaces have a lot of arbitrary details like "how is the param for custom CA called?", which unfortunately have no de-facto standard in Ruby ecosystem.
  A single good config interface could make it easier for users to learn/switch between the client gems.

On similar discussion in kubernetes-client/ruby#20 (comment) some people expressed support. What do you think?

I think it's a good idea as it doesn't make sense to waste efforts in reinventing the wheel and the whole config / initialization interface of k8s-client I think is too complex currently anyway and needs some simplification (as noted in #121).
