No.  The SDK is different it provides a common mechanism for accessing 
the REST API.  Whereas, the common tools repo is more geared to the 
tooling (e.g. common classes for logging, option parsing, etc.).  It 
would look like this...

[Common Tools]       [REST SDK]
                 \                         /
[image-uploader, iso-uploader, log-collector]


Cheers,
Keith
