Just a quick note (more later, if time permits)...

Here's what I meant:
We publish the current implementation of the /simple/ index API
under a new URL /simple-v1/, so that people that want to use
the old API can continue to do so.
Then we setup a new /simple-v2/ index API with your proposed
change, perhaps even dropping the rel attribute altogether.
During testing, we'd then have:
/simple/ - same as /simple-v1/
/simple-v1/ - old API with rel attributes always set
/simple-v2/ - new API with your changes (rel attributes only
set in some cases)
After a month or so of testing, we then switch this to:
/simple/ - same as /simple-v2/
/simple-v1/ - old API with rel attributes always set
/simple-v2/ - new API with your changes (rel attributes only
set in some cases)
