versioning:
  scheme: versionless
  text: The APIs are versionless, removing the need for version upgrades. However, individual fields or actions might be changed as part of the APIs' evolution.
  resource_versioning: Each resource carries a version incremented on every update; updates and deletes must send the current version (optimistic concurrency).
deprecation:
  policy: Deprecations and removals of features are announced in release notes. Existing implementations continue to work.
