I think there's a slightly different argument here. We aren't taking away the v2 API, probably ever. Clients that are satisfied with it can continue to use it, as it is, forever. For clients that aren't trying to do anything beyond the current basics will quite possibly be happy with that. Consumers have no reason to change over without compelling value from the change - that will come from what we implement on top of microversions, or not. Unlike the v1 transition, we aren't trying to get rid of v2, just stop changing existing semantics of it.

Spent some time talking to Sean about this on Friday afternoon and bounced back and forth between the two options. At first, /v3 made the most sense to me ... at least it did at the meetup. With people like Sean Dague and Morgan Fainberg weighing in with concerns, it seems like we should reconsider. Duncan, your comment here about customers moving when they are ready is somewhat correct. That, however, I am concerned is a a small subset of the users. I think many users want to move but don't know any better. That was what we encountered with our consumers. They didn't understand that they needed to update the endpoint and couldn't figure out why their new functions weren't working.

So, I am leaning towards going with the /v2 endpoint and making sure that the clients we can control are set up properly and we put safety checks in the server end. I think that may be the safest way to go.
