Review comment:
Ah ok, the idea is that the unversioned URLs point to the oldest supported
REST API version, right? The problem with this approach is that we would break
the API (unversioned URLs) every time we drop support for a given version.
Given that the versioned URLs are stable and we did not promise REST API
stability yet, this should most likely be ok.
The breaking change would only happen if users of the unversioned URLs don't
migrate to the versioned URLs and we drop support for a version. Once we do
this, we should add it to the migration guide.
Could we maybe add a check which only registers handlers of the oldest
version under the unversioned URLs instead of all?
