The wiki page exists for changes to be introduced at 5.0. It has been there for 
more than a year so it needs tlc.
As for the API I sugest to start with a v2Beta api that we then migrate to v2 
once we feel it can be maintained for a while without breaking backwards 
compatibility. (and move to ACS 5.0 at that point)
Alternatively we can just upgrade quickly (v2, v3, v4, …)

In short +1 for Rene’s idea but with caveats.

    +1 for the API versioning. If you could create a wiki page Rene, we can
    start documenting the changes.
