For that reason I would argue to purge it. I agree to purge it, as described in ACE-424 [1]. > What will the (semantic) version of the release be?

I think we should as I see no reason to use a different versioning scheme. If so, I would be surprised if we don’t end up calling this 2.0.0 as I just broke an API in a backward incompatible way because I feel it was wrong (an interface extending ManagedService for no good reason).
