  note: >-
    ArcGIS Location Services are not versioned in the URI in the usual /v1/ sense. The REST
    surface is versioned by service (e.g. /arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer) and the
    platform ships dated monthly releases; the ArcGIS Maps SDKs carry their own semver trains
    (JavaScript 5.1.x, .NET 300.x, arcgis-rest-js 4.11.x, Python 2.4.x).
